Access to global climate change initiatives at World Economic Forum added to the Solving Global Problems section of PMWL
23 May 2018 – Davos, Switzerland – Access to a major new resource has been added to the PM World Library related to solving global problems. The resource is called “Shaping the Future of Environment and Natural Resource Security”, the World Economic Forum’s initiatives to address the intertwined issues of economic growth and climate change.
The World Economic Forum’s System Initiative on Shaping the Future of Environment and Natural Resource Security brings together leading experts and practitioners to provide systems leadership, curate platforms for multi-dimensional cooperation and engage in focused interventions. The System Initiative aims to: improve the effectiveness of the international community’s response to environmental challenges; support public-private action that accelerates the climate action agenda, improves ocean health, realizes deforestation-free supply chains, enables more water-secure economies and helps unlock a trillion-dollar opportunity in the circular economy; and explore how Fourth Industrial Revolution innovations can be harnessed to address environmental issues, including redefining what effective global environmental governance looks like.
Responding to these challenges requires breaking down traditional silos and building new forms of cooperation and innovation across the public and private sectors to quickly effect change at scale. The WEF’s System Initiative offers a platform to support this action. Website includes useful articles and global projects.
To access this resource, go to the Solving Global Problems section of the PMWL at https://pmworldlibrary.net/solving-global-problems/, select “Solving Global Environmental Problems”, scroll down to Addressing Climate Change. Free access to all.
