Davos isn’t just about high-powered meetings anymore—it’s getting a green makeover! 🌍 Severin Podolak, Head of Event Management at the World Economic Forum, revealed to CGTN that this year’s summit doubled down on eco-friendly practices. From subsidizing public transport to prioritizing reusable materials, the forum embraced a ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ ethos to slash its carbon footprint. ♻️
But it’s not just about the planet. Podolak emphasized diverse voices as a key theme, with participants from varied regions, industries, and perspectives shaping the agenda. 🌏✨ Think tech CEOs debating with climate activists and emerging-market entrepreneurs—all under one (sustainably heated) roof. 💬
\"We’re building a platform where ideas collide, not just economies,\" Podolak said, hinting at the WEF’s push for inclusive problem-solving. Could this be the blueprint for future global summits? 🔑
