While the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's war in Ukraine will be focuses of the World Economic Forum's gathering of business and government leaders, so too will climate change. It's captured the world's attention in unignorable and devastating ways.

The acceleration of rising temperatures, the ferocity and costliness of major weather events, and the impact, particularly on people in developing countries, have pushed the issue from one of science to something that touches every aspect of life, including business and economics.

They are also controversial and raise questions: Should certain declarations be mandatory? Should they be standardized and regulated, and by whom? Or has the ESG movement already gone too far, ultimately hindering investment and doing little to rein in greenhouse gas emissions? Several panels will look at areas where businesses have successfully transitioned much of their energy portfolio to renewables, the role of finance and government to incentivize or mandate changes, and strategies to keep businesses accountable. Despite heightened consciousness and pledges by businesses, emissions are going up worldwide.

An important current through all the discussions will be identifying what "net zero" is -- and isn't -- when looking at pledges from companies and countries. Moving away from fossil fuels like coal and oil to renewables like solar and wind can reduce emissions and get a company closer to goals of taking an equal amount of emissions out of the atmosphere as it puts in.

Why are we paying carbon tax. Trees release oxygen when they use energy from the sunlight to make glucose from carbon dioxide and water. A single tree such as a mature Beech can produce enough oxygen for 10 people annually. Copied and pasted.

Shut down the WEF … new worldone world order BS and the WHO

We need CO2 in this world because how do you expect plant to live.

Poison organization

Fact check ?

Wonder if WEF knew about the similarity of Aaron Salter and Stanley Meyer?

Criminals!!

CTV is an embarrassment

An awful lot of fear mongoring in the comments

You in the media keeping informing us that WEF has no power. So why do we care what they say about issues and why do you report it?

All those private jets, to deliver all those climate themes… One rule for you; another rule for them!

Don't trust any of them.

ctv loves wef

Make way for the 'great reset' conspiracy crowd.

Great ALL THE RICH in DAVOS & they make their 💰💰OIL & GAS etc &DECADES have passed & WHAT? We R in the WORSE SHAPE TODAY Record Making PROFITS & THEY don’t PAY💰TO HELP FIX THE🌍THAT’S DYING MORE EACH DAY BULL💩 or do THEY go to wheel & deal? I think the LATTER 🤬 We R🔩’d🤬

Say goodbye Canada

The Alex Jones fans will be going wild in these replies lol grab your tinfoil hats!!!

NAZI ORGANIZATION

Themes = Schemes! 💩💩

People advocating for environmental responses when they don't try to adjust their own behaviour isn't helpful. Hypocrisy examples: - Spouses working needlessly (creating extra emissions) - Making no attempt to work closer to home or remotely - Misusing waste bins

We are running out of time. We've had more than enough discussions, conferences, pledges and promises. High time for real ClimateAction

Let all who violate creator God’s cosmic rule be revealed as condemned for their bio- ethical violations of the original creation. All the WEF’s wicked solutions will not fix what’s wrong because they don’t acknowledge God’s true and sentient design for creation.

They should have no standing. Why anyone is supposed to believe Klaus Schwab is a great humanitarian and him and his billionaires should get to tell us all what we need to do and how to do it is a total mystery.

Oh yeah... climate

Nothing but corruption everywhere

WEF and Davos nees to be destroyed to move our civilization forward.
