Solutions & Safeguarding Our Planet - Davos Comes Together Again

DAVOS, SWITZERLAND, May 19, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- We see the term nature-based solutions (NBS) used increasing which refers to sustainable management and the use of natural features and processes to tackle socio-environmental challenges. There has been a considerable focus on how NBS will be used to tackle some of the current environmental challenges we are facing of our time especially with the release of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Report. The IPCC is the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change. The report outlines that 3.5 billion people are highly vulnerable to climate impacts and 50% of the world’s population have water shortages at some point during the year. We see rising temperatures and rainfall causing the spread of disease amongst people, crops & livestock. The future looks a lot different, and, Davos is a place where leaders can come together to discuss the future of humanity.

Climate change presents one of the largest threats to sustainable development and its widespread, unprecedented impacts disproportionately burden the poorest and most vulnerable communities. The dress rehearsal is done--- the climate emergency intensifies with a need for both public and private sectors to unite and address global temperatures to mobilize the USD $3-5 trillion dollars (GIIN.org) annually to make the SDGs a reality. The Green Accelerator² comes to Davos at an invite-only side event to the World Economic Forum meetings in Davos on 25th May 2022 with presence from senior government, investment management, innovators, and academia.

Curated and geared up in advance to COP27 in Egypt this year, the panel will begin with remarks from The Minister of International Cooperation of the Arab Republic of Egypt, H.E. Rania Al-Mashat together with Dr. Laura-Marie Topfer a sustainable finance expert and Partner at Extantia Capital. Timely, and a follow-up from the recent Glasgow discussions at COP26.

A focus on emerging market impact investors also come to the stage such as Barbara Ann Bernard, Founder & CIO of Wincrest Capital, moderated by Michael Stirling, Chairman and CEO of Stirling Infrastructure Partners. Followed by one of the world’s authorities on planetary boundaries, Professor Johan Rockstrom, an internationally recognized scientist and Professor of Environmental Science, PIK at the Stockholm Resilience Centre, will lead the second panel on climate solutions and the role technology has in safeguarding our planet.

Other keynotes include Dr. Bryan Scheler, the Head of Sustainable Finance & Impact Investing at the BMW Foundation Herbert Quandt. The BMW foundation Herbert Quandt promotes responsible leadership and inspires global leaders to work towards a peaceful, just and sustainable future that advances the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and 2030 Agenda.
