World Economic Forum Engages Businesses in Climate Resilience Efforts
The World Economic Forum (WEF) is actively engaging with industry leaders to address climate risk, which has become a central concern for businesses globally. Sebastian Buckup, Managing Director at the WEF, is spearheading efforts through the Centre for Nature and Climate. The WEF collaborates with governments, businesses, civil society, and media to foster public-private cooperation aimed at improving global conditions. Buckup highlights that climate risk presents both a growth opportunity and a regulatory challenge for companies. Businesses are increasingly investing in clean technologies, such as small nuclear reactors and green hydrogen, as the market for green solutions expands. The WEF emphasizes the importance of integrating resilience planning into business strategies, especially for industries reliant on global supply chains, which are vulnerable to climate disruptions.
