In a recent interview with CGTN’s Global Business, Severin Podolak, Head of Event Management and Operations at the World Economic Forum (WEF), emphasized that sustainability and diversity are at the core of this year’s event. Podolak highlighted the WEF’s commitment to “reduce, reuse, and recycle,” implementing measures such as subsidizing participants who travel by public transportation.
He noted that the 2024 Davos Forum has made significant strides in bringing diverse representation to the table, encompassing various regions, industries, and opinions. “It’s crucial for us to ensure that voices from all corners of the globe are heard,” Podolak said. “By fostering a diverse environment, we can facilitate more comprehensive discussions and develop more effective solutions to global challenges.”
The focus on sustainability and diversity reflects the WEF’s broader goals of promoting responsible leadership and inclusive dialogue. Participants can expect a range of sessions dedicated to environmental conservation, social equity, and economic development, aligning with the pressing issues facing the global community today.
