Play Video: Safeguarding Green Spaces & Heavy Industries Push for Net Zero | WEF | Top Stories of the Week

This week's top stories of the week include: 0:15 How corruption damages society – Corruption is a pervasive issue that undermines societies, economies, and governance. Defined as the abuse of entrusted power for personal gain, it has far-reaching consequences that go beyond financial losses. Understanding its impact and adopting strategies to fight it are critical to creating more equitable and sustainable societies. 4:29 Tips for safeguarding green spaces – Just 37% of the world’s 500 most populous cities have developed a dedicated strategy around nature and biodiversity preservation. Travis Beck is Chief Park Officer at the Presidio, a historic national park site in California’s San Francisco Bay Area. He discusses 3 ways the park is safeguarding its future under his watch. 7:24 Heavy industries push for net zero – Eight heavy-emitting sectors account for around 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions. These sectors play a key role in the global economy. Demand is set to rise more than 60% by 2050, so it’s imperative to make them more sustainable. How are they getting on? The Net Zero Industry Tracker has the answers. 10:42 Impact of climate change on profits – Researchers have calculated the business risks posed by climate hazards such as extreme weather, which pose a threat to companies’ fixed assets such as property, machinery and equipment. Together, these losses could cut 7% from companies’ profits every year by 2035, half as much as the losses incurred during the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic. _____________________________________________ The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.
