Climate change has provided an unseasonably temperate backdrop for the annual World Economic Forum meeting in the normally snowy winter resort town of Davos, Switzerland this week. While the snow is scarce, analysts and think tanks have released their usual flurry of economic reports to dig through in time for the event.
Among them, consultancy Accenture has released its 12th annual United Nations Global Compact-Accenture CEO study, surveying thousands of global CEOs on their progress in implementing the UN’s sustainable development goals (SDGs)—a set of 17 growth targets the UN established in 2015 that cover various environmental and societal issues.
