The World Economic Forum in Davos started off this week. This annual forum sees global leaders get together in Davos, Switzerland to hold a round of discussions on the most pressing issues of our times. Climate change has traditionally been high on the agenda of this yearly meeting. But this year, climate change will have to take a backseat. The looming global economic crisis coupled with recession in the biggest economies of the world has made economic revival the most urgent issue of the moment.
Naturally, it is expected that incentives to revitalize stock-markets which have taken a roaring beating in the past few months, will dominate any international discussion. But as we move forward in a new era of financial uncertainty and dwindling trust in financial regulatory bodies, it is essential that we don't lose sight of the greater goal of preserving our environment for the common good of mankind. And to conserve our natural wealth, we will have to join together and face the challenge of climate change and global warming. It is important that global leaders who have right now gathered in Davos don't lose sight of this goal.
