In the worldview of the elites gathered in Davos this January for the World Economic Forum’s 2023 meeting , the world’s crises call “for bold collective action.” Of the ongoing crises calling for such action, climate change unsurprisingly made the top of the list.
“While a global energy transition is under way, further action is needed to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change,” read an overview page for the event.
Prescriptions include “decoupling economic growth from energy consumption” and “mainstreaming breakthrough technological innovations and addressing equity,” as well as using other crises “to develop more ambitious, comprehensive, and sustainable infrastructure investment plans that [help] the world to meet the 2030 targets.”
