SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT MEETINGS
During the week of 22 to 26 September 2025, alongside the United Nations General Assembly and Climate Week NYC, the World Economic Forum hosted the Sustainable Development Impact Meetings. These brought together more than 1,000 global leaders and could set the tone for sustainability’ s inclusion at Davos. The meetings covered topics including:
• Carbon capture and utilisation
• The AI trust crisis
• The global energy transition
• Sustainable finance
• Drug resistance
• Workforce resilience
• The costs of climate health
• COP30
“ The conversations this week were consequential in shaping priorities for the months ahead,” said Børge Brende, President and CEO at World Economic Forum, reflecting on the meetings.
“ As we now look toward the Annual Meeting 2026, many of these discussions will continue to guide the agenda leading up to Davos.
“ With strong collaboration and commitment, I am confident we can turn shared challenges into shared solutions.” sustainabilitymag. com 111
