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 for the upcoming Davos 2024 Forum.
Podolak highlighted that this year's event is striving to \"reduce, reuse, and recycle\" by implementing measures such as subsidizing participants who choose to travel by public transportation. \"We are encouraging all attendees to consider their environmental impact,\" he said, underscoring the WEF's dedication to minimizing its carbon footprint.
Beyond environmental initiatives, Podolak also spoke about the forum's efforts to enhance diversity. \"We have brought in more diverse representation in terms of regions, industries, and opinions,\" he noted. By including voices from different parts of the world and various sectors, the WEF aims to foster inclusive discussions that address global challenges.
The Davos 2024 Forum is expected to gather leaders, entrepreneurs, and academics from across the globe. With sustainability and diversity at its core, the event aspires to drive meaningful dialogue and collaborative solutions for a better future.
