The World Economic Forum 2024 Meeting: Climate, Nature and Energy topic
The Global Risks Report 2024 from the World Economic Forum highlights that environmental concerns constitute half of the top 10 risks anticipated over the next decade. These include extreme weather events, critical alterations to Earth’s systems, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem collapse, ranking as the top three.
According to the United Nations, the climate crisis has resulted in over 2 million fatalities and economic losses exceeding $4.3 trillion in the last five decades, alongside the destruction of essential natural habitats. This trend is projected to intensify, significantly impacting access to fundamental human necessities like food and water. At the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos in January 2024, one of the central topics of discussion revolves around devising a Long-Term Strategy for Climate, Nature, and Energy.
Key discussions on Climate, Nature and Energy topic at the WEF meeting in January 2024 include:

- Recognizing the Climate Crisis as a Health Crisis
