In a recent interview with CGTN's Global Business, Severin Podolak, Head of Event Management and Operations at the World Economic Forum (WEF), emphasized the organization's commitment to sustainability and diversity at this year's Davos Forum.
\"We tried our best to reduce, reuse, and recycle,\" Podolak stated, highlighting the WEF's efforts to minimize the environmental impact of the event. One of the key measures implemented was subsidizing participants who chose to travel by public transportation, encouraging eco-friendly travel options among attendees.
Podolak also underscored the significance of diverse representation at the 2024 Davos Forum. \"We brought in diverse representation in terms of regions, industries, and opinions,\" he said. This approach aims to foster a more inclusive dialogue on global issues, bringing together voices from different backgrounds to share insights and collaborate on solutions.
The WEF's focus on sustainability and diversity resonates deeply with global audiences, reflecting a growing awareness of environmental concerns and the importance of inclusive dialogue in addressing complex global challenges.
