From fighting climate change, to building an inclusive post pandemic economic model and managing migratory flows, the President of the World Economic Forum highlights the importance of ‘Global Cooperation’.
In an interview with Asharq Al-Awsat, on the sidelines of this year’s “Davos Agenda” week, Børge Brende warned of the high cost of climate inaction, and emphasized the need to decouple future energy growth from that of CO2 emissions. He added that the Middle East has a unique opportunity to position itself at the heart of global climate efforts, hailing the Saudi Green Initiative and the Middle East Green Initiative as vital components of global efforts to reduce emissions.
