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.

This week's top stories of the week include: 0:15 The world has an antibiotic problem – Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), also known as antibiotic resistance, is a major health concern. It occurs when microbes, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, become resistant to the drugs used to treat them. This makes infections harder to treat and increases the risk of death. 4:48 Indonesia's giant floating solar plant – Indonesia has made a significant stride in renewable energy by unveiling a massive floating solar plant, the third largest of its kind globally. Situated on the Cirata Reservoir, 107 kilometers southeast of Jakarta, the plant's 13 expansive arrays cover 4% of the reservoir's surface, capable of generating up to 192 MW of power. 6:06 2024 Smart Toy Awards – Moflin, a palm-sized AI pet, is among the winners of the Smart Toy Awards. Just like a real pet, Moflin's AI has an "emotional model" that allows it to react to the way it's treated. This interactive play experience fosters a connection between the child and the toy, creating a sense of companionship and responsibility. 7:58 Clean air projects attract global investment – In 2021, international development funding for air quality projects surpassed that of fossil fuel projects for the first time, reaching $2.3 billion, an increase of $800 million from fossil fuel projects. This significant drop from $11.9 billion in 2019, the peak for fossil fuel funding, suggests a potential shift in the global financing landscape away from fossil fuels. _____________________________________________ The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.

Play Video: Germany's First Zero-Waste City & Gender Balance Benefits Companies | WEF | Top Stories of the Week

This week's top stories of the week include: 0:15 Kiel is Germany's first zero-waste city –Kiel has put 107 waste-reducing measures in place. They include practical changes, such as ‘pay-to-throw’, a scheme in which households pay a fee for the amount of landfill waste they generate. Other measures include recycling collection ‘islands’ around the city, discounts for shoppers who bring their own containers and banning disposable products at all city events. 1:33 Gender balanced companies outperform others – According to a BlackRock study of 1,250 of the world’s biggest companies. Over the past decade, the companies with the most equal gender balance achieved a 7.7% average annual return on assets (RoA). Those with the highest share of men delivered a 5.6% RoA, while those with the highest share of women returned a 6.1% RoA. The study concluded it was ‘diversity that counts’ rather than the dominance of a single gender. 3:08 US wants to convert empty offices into homes – The government will offer funding and technical support to help cities turn unused workspaces into affordable apartments. US office vacancy rates have hit a 30-year peak as more staff clock in to work remotely. Meanwhile, rents in the country remain at historic highs after a surge during the pandemic converting offices to apartments can be challenging. 4:48 Rwanda and Kenya open borders to other Africans – Rwanda and Kenya have made significant strides in promoting African unity by opening their borders to other Africans, enabling visa-free travel for all citizens of the continent. This move positions Rwanda as the fourth African nation to remove such restrictions, following Benin, The Gambia, and Seychelles. Kenya is set to join them on December 31, 2023. _____________________________________________ The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.
