Play Video: UN Ambassador’s Climate Message & Cities Cutting Air Pollution | WEF | Top Stories of the Week

This week's top stories of the week include: 0:15 UN ambassador’s climate message – Peter Thomson is the UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for the Ocean. He’s urging young people to take part in climate action but he’s also clear about where responsibility lies. Scientists have devised the concept of ‘positive tipping points’ which are thresholds that can propel rapid decarbonization. However, Thomson says the first tipping point is up to us. 4:05 How to make better decisions – Before entering business, Ravi Kumar S trained as a nuclear scientist. This gave him a huge helping hand in his career, he says. Kumar says modern companies aren’t hierarchies, but networks which draw on the ‘community knowledge’ of all their staff. As CEO, he has developed a decision-making process that takes his gut feeling and supports it with data in a continual feedback loop. 7:08 Cities cutting air pollution – Curitiba in Brazil built an integrated transport network to cut congestion. Curitiba began by launching the world’s first bus rapid transit (BRT) in 1974. Today’s network combines express routes with suburban connections and cycle lanes so passengers can move easily from one transport to another. 9:01 Where is AI headed? – At our Annual Meeting of the Global Future Councils in Dubai 500 experts gathered to share insights on pressing issues, including how rapid advances in AI are reshaping our world. As AI becomes more prevalent, it remains clear that the humanities are essential to a functioning society and a fulfilled life, says Stuart Russell, Professor of Computer Science, University of California, Berkeley. _____________________________________________ The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.
