3 Climate Trends - Issue 1
World Economic Forum
The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.
The public-private role in tackling water insecurity, innovation in the aviation industry and enabling an equitable energy transition – these are the stories covered in this issue of the World Economic Forum’s 3 Climate Trends newsletter, your guide to the climate, nature and sustainability in an ever-changing world.
1. Why public-private partnerships are essential to addressing #water insecurity
Today, over 2 billion people still lack access to safe drinking water - an issue exacerbated by climate change.?
If the world is to reach SDG 6 on water access and sanitation, greater public-private collaboration is needed for safer and more inclusive water supply systems.
The private sector has much to contribute in this area, as recent examples from Amazon Web Services (AWS) show.
For example, AWS has committed to being water-positive by 2030 by returning more water to the communities where it operates than it uses in operations.
Yet private sector leadership is merely one piece of the puzzle.?
Learn more about tackling water security in this article from Kara H. Hurst , CSO of 亚马逊 , and Gim Neo , Managing Director, Head of Centre for Nature and Climate of the World Economic Forum .
2. How the #aviation industry is adapting to the #climate crisis
Our changing climate is creating new challenges for the aviation industry, as it grapples with flooding, higher temperatures and structural damage from extreme weather events.
‘Clear air turbulence’ is also on the rise - this can’t be picked up by pilots or conventional radars.?
Yet new innovations are helping this critical industry overcome these challenges. Explore them in this video .?
3. How to ensure the green transition benefits society equally
Going green stands to benefit billions of people around the world, but how do we ensure that the poorest don’t miss out on the opportunities this transition will provide?
A report from the World Economic Forum, Accelerating an Equitable Transition: A Data-Driven Approach , outlines six 'archetype' countries and looks at the differing challenges across the globe.
In this episode of #RadioDavos, Tarini Fernando , Lead, Equitable Transition, World Economic Forum , explores what policymakers need to know to achieve an equitable transition.

1 个月Hello World ?? Thank you World Economic Forum for this opportunity in data gathering for all human beings in our commonality. Water & oxygen. These two happen to be some of my most favorite things in my life ??. Taken all things considered, what do you World Economic Forum suggest a regular person to do? Sure economics play a role, does the corporate sector have their personnel to pave the way from within? Or is it a tax benefit to be used as a write off suggesting that sure, we have our toes in but we really don’t care…it’s the bottom line=profits? What perimeters are preset as guidelines when the promises don’t become fruitful? Could AI technology intervene? Let’s say, we’re talking about the biggest promomatic company worldwide where it’s a known issue. For argument sake, let’s suggest CA (USA), emissions. Does anyone hold any entity accountable? Who is this entity? Here in the USA, I may be wrong, it’s the EPA. This is more multifaceted in many diverse countries to encourage greener methodology to become a mission. Could a field trip of sorts become a requirement to receive a “sticker” if you will, displaying to Jane Public that indeed, this corporate culture embraces greener methods for a world to be left.

1 个月How strange to advocate Public Private Partnerships when they so obviously create havoc with management, forward strategy, pin down of responsibility and can absolute ruin something like the U.K.'s NHS. To be truely sustainable in business in the future we need to make sure that whatever business it is, not only runs the business sustainably but makies sure that products from resourcing materials through to production through to disposal are sustainable. And crucially, management needs to be aware of each staff members role and what they are responsible for. This does not happen easily with PPP. Perfectly sound management of hospitals for instance, in the U.K. was blown apart buy bringing in PPPs and private contracts. That meant that every aspect of a previously smooth running hospital went out of the window.
