Play Video: Preparing for the Green Transition in Fossil Fuel Exporters – COP28

The global energy transition poses macroeconomic challenges for fossil fuel exporting countries, including more uncertain hydrocarbon revenues, exports and investment inflows. How will these countries be impacted in the next decade and what policies can they adopt to harness opportunities in the transition to a lower carbon economy and mitigate possible macroeconomic disruptions? Panelists will share views on the scale of the challenge, as well as fiscal policy and diversification priorities to respond in a timely and coordinated way. PANELISTS: Fahad Alajlan, President, King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center (KAPSARC) Melissa C. Lott, Senior Director of Research, SIPA Center on Global Energy Policy; Professor, Columbia Climate School at Columbia University Mary Burce Warlick, Deputy Executive Director, International Energy Agency (IEA) Diego Mesa Puyo, Deputy Chief, Climate Policy Division, IMF Moderator: Eleni Giokos, CNN

Play Video: Addressing Governance and Corruption Challenges in the response to Climate Change - COP28

Investing in climate change resilience requires large scale financing. The potential for corruption to exacerbate the challenge, undermine the effectiveness of the response and increase costs means that better governance must be at the heart of the climate response. Acting fast will mean leveraging the existing anticorruption architecture and catalyzing coalitions in a highly coordinated way. In this joint event with the World Bank, panelists will discuss corruption vulnerabilities that are specific to the green transition and how to address them. PANELISTS: Shuang Liu, China Finance Director, World Resources Institute Tsakani Maluleke, Auditor-General, South Africa Mark Robinson, Executive Director, Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative Moderator: Laury Haytayan, MENA Director, Natural Resource Governance Institute

Play Video: Energy Security and Climate Mitigation: Global Challenges for a Fragmented World – COP28

Disruptions in global energy markets amid Russia’s war in Ukraine have exposed the vulnerabilities of fossil-fuel reliance and rekindled national energy security concerns. At the same time, rising geo-economic fragmentation could jeopardize the supply of minerals that are critical for the green transition. This event will explore how countries can strike a balance between promoting short-term energy security while remaining on track to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. PANELISTS: Antonio Spilimbergo, Deputy Director of Research, IMF Anthony Agotha, Special Envoy for Climate and Environment, EU Meghan O’Sullivan, Director, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard University Atul Arya, Chief Energy Strategist, S&P Global Moderator: Landon Derentz, Director of Global Energy Security, Atlantic Council https://www.imf.org/en/Topics/climate-change/COP28

World Economic Forum Video: Redesigned Wind Turbine & What Is Climate Justice? | WEF | Top Stories of the Week

Play Video: Redesigned Wind Turbine & What Is Climate Justice? | WEF | Top Stories of the Week

This week's top stories of the week include: 0:15 This start-up has redesigned the wind turbine – It’s designed by US start-up Airloom. Which says it can generate the same amount of energy as a traditional turbine but at a fraction of the cost and size. It’s much smaller and uses far fewer materials, making it almost 10 times cheaper to build. Its design can generate electricity at one-third the cost of standard wind turbines. Its turbines should take up less space, too as conventional turbines have to be distanced from one another. 1:45 Cutting salt works as well as medication – Scientists have found that reducing salt intake by just 1 teaspoon per day can lower blood pressure as much as specific drugs for that purpose. Researchers put 213 people aged 50-75 on either a high- or low-sodium diet. After a week, the two groups swapped. The low-sodium diet led to a swift and pronounced drop in blood pressure roughly equal to a ‘first-line blood-pressure medication’, say the authors. 3:27 What is climate justice? – Climate change is a global crisis, but its impacts are felt unequally. For many, it's not just about rising temperatures and melting glaciers, but about the very survival of their communities. 6:11 How AI will open the world to disabled people – Victor Pineda, a Hispanic man in a wheelchair and using a machine to help him breathe, shares his experience of growing up in a world that wasn't designed for him. Denied education in his home country due to his disability, he found an opportunity in the US, where laws protected his right to learn. He sees AI as a chance to create customized learning experiences for diverse learners, a stark contrast to his exclusionary past. _____________________________________________ The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.

Play Video: Visit Seoul in the Metaverse & Meat Grown From Stem Cells | WEF | Top Stories of the Week

This week's top stories of the week include: 0:15 Visit Seoul in the metaverse – Seoul, the vibrant capital of South Korea, has taken a pioneering step into the digital realm by launching the world's first urban metaverse app. This immersive platform allows users to create personalized avatars and embark on a virtual journey through Seoul's iconic landmarks, including N Seoul Tower, Gyeongbokgung Palace, and the mayor's office. 1:48 This meat is grown from stem cells – Shiok Meats cultivates meat and seafood directly from animal stem cells. This innovative technology offers a promising solution to the environmental and ethical concerns associated with conventional animal agriculture. 6:33 Sugar prices are surging. Here's why – Sugar enthusiasts face a grim reality as global sugar prices have skyrocketed by 55% in just two months. This surge stems from severe droughts in India and Thailand, the world's second and third-largest sugar exporters, respectively. 8:11 Climate disaster insurance for island states – A global insurance scheme could protect 100 vulnerable nations against the spiralling costs of storms, droughts and rising seas. Small island developing states face losses of 50-300% of GDP to hurricanes and other climate events. Until now, small island states were seen as untouchable in insurance terms but new research from Cambridge University and the insurer Howden shows coverage remains possible by modelling the likely risks they face and using premiums funded by ‘donor’ countries. _____________________________________________ The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.
