OGDEN, Utah – 2020 showed us that action on climate change is more urgent than ever.
- Building back better must include a focus on reaching net-zero, the energy transition and committing to circular economies and sustainable consumption.
- The Davos Agenda will mobilize global leaders to build a healthier, more resilient planet.
A year ago at the Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos – heeding the advice of speakers including Greta Thunberg, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Prince Charles – government, business and civil society committed to take more concrete action on climate change and save the planet from a hot, smoky, polluted demise.
Throughout the week, delegates watched in horror as bushfires ravaged Australia – ultimately burning more than 11 million hectares of land and killing or displacing as many as 3 billion animals.
