In a recent interview with CGTN's Global Business, Severin Podolak, Head of Event Management and Operations at the World Economic Forum (WEF), highlighted sustainability and diversity as core focuses of this year's event. Podolak emphasized the organization's efforts to \"reduce, reuse and recycle,\" implementing measures such as subsidizing participants who traveled by public transportation.
Looking ahead to the 2024 Davos Forum, Podolak noted the inclusion of diverse representation in terms of regions, industries, and opinions. \"We are committed to bringing together voices from all corners of the globe to foster meaningful discussions on pressing global issues,\" he said. The WEF aims to ensure that the forum serves as a platform for a wide range of perspectives, particularly from emerging economies in Asia and beyond.
By prioritizing sustainability and diversity, the World Economic Forum continues to shape a future-oriented agenda, addressing the challenges and opportunities in the global landscape. The emphasis on eco-friendly practices and inclusive dialogue reflects the WEF's dedication to fostering collaboration and innovation among leaders worldwide.
