Here we are at the end of another Davos—a Davos where geopolitics and AI dominated
the conversation.
So what about climate and sustainability?
I'm leaving here optimistic.
Optimistic for three reasons.
One, a lot of the fluff went away, and we got to real conversations
here—smaller groups, authentic conversations about challenges
to implementation, challenges to going from pilots to scale,
and how we can collaborate together.
And that makes me optimistic. Number two, I got the chance to meet so many
fantastic tech-enabled business leaders—startups that are doing amazing
things in the climate world.
And I'm excited because not only are these climate-focused businesses,
these are great businesses.
Number three,
this week, the leadership of the Brazil COP 30 was announced.
Ambassador Corrêa and CEO Ana Toni—what a fantastic deal that brings together
passion, experience, energy. And we are stepping forward into a year
where we expect great things from Brazil.
Some of us in the private sector had a chance to have a first conversation,
and really appreciate the focus on implementation and action that's coming
through from this leadership.
