The “UnForeSeen Variable” sculpture has been created by Veronica de Nogales in collaboration with Homeless Entrepreneur to raise awareness on global precarity and climate migration to create positive social impact.
It aims to inspire public-private collaboration that empowers people made of potential out of homelessness. These individuals, who are also the most vulnerable to the climate crisis, must be included in the design of improving the state of the world. Giving them a voice and presence through this artwork will ultimately speed up the process of becoming active, working citizens again with a home.
At 15.00, together with representatives of the city of Davos , Nicole Keller the managing director of GreenUp, Veronica and Andrew Funk will inaugurate the statue.

As we enter a period of shifting national priorities on climate and nature, global companies are faced with the challenge of navigating divergent policies and regulations while continuing to advance their sustainability agendas. While the uncertainty created by inconsistent national approaches poses a challenge, mounting evidence shows that aligning business strategies with environmental stewardship and societal well-being not only generates positive impact but also strengthens organizational resilience and enhances financial performance.
This networking reception will bring together leaders, innovators, and change-makers from across industries to discuss how organizations can stay true to their climate and nature-related goals, even amid fragmented policy landscapes. Through collaborative discussions and knowledge sharing, we aim to foster partnerships that support the transition to a low-carbon economy, promote biodiversity conservation, and accelerate the development of innovative solutions to the climate crisis. This reception offers a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals, explore avenues for sustainable growth, and drive lasting environmental change, whether through partnerships, investments, or the adoption of emerging technologies. Join us for an evening of networking, inspiration, and collective action as we work together toward a more sustainable and climate-resilient future.

Losses from the ongoing LA wildfires will be well over $200bn, according to estimates, making them costlier than hurricane Katrina (2005). The 1.5 degree world that we’re currently experiencing also brings unprecedented heatwaves, supercharged hurricanes, and heavy rainfall events. The global financial system is undoubtedly exposed to climate risk, so how prepared is it? Is there a possibility that severe weather events, displacement, supply chain breakdown, and tougher climate policy will affect markets in ways that current models don’t account for, sending the global economy in a downward spiral? Join leading finance experts to explore whether the next global market crash rides on the back of a Green Swan–and whether it can be avoided.

Africa stands at a critical juncture, facing the intertwined challenges of debt, climate change, and biodiversity loss. However, these obstacles also offer a transformative opportunity to embrace SDG investment strategies that can drive the continent toward a prosperous and resilient future. By prioritizing SDG investments, African nations can boost GDP, raise income per capita, and create millions of jobs while safeguarding the environment and strengthening collaboration among governments, businesses, and local communities. Achieving these outcomes requires innovative financing solutions, the promotion of public-private partnerships, and the establishment of a conducive environment for investors. The key question we must address is: how can African public and private stakeholders work together to harness SDG-focused investments, ensuring economic growth, job creation, and environmental stewardship across the continent?

The urgency to act on climate change has never been greater. An "energy supercycle" is under way, expected to continue for at least 20 years, driven by a seismic shift in electricity demand. This growth is accelerated by the increasing need for electrification and digitalization, particularly in high-growth sectors like AI and data centres. Securing a reliable energy supply to meet this demand, while ensuring its affordability and sustainability, is crucial.
This session explores the parallels between today’s energy landscape, focusing on the role of grids in accelerating renewable integration and supporting advanced technologies like small modular reactors (SMRs) and AI-driven energy optimization. It will offer practical insights into how global stakeholders can drive change by embracing future technologies and fostering collaboration to address the climate crisis while building a stronger, more resilient economy.

Leadership in today’s world requires more than vision—it demands conscious action. Doing is knowing, and businesses must lead by example, demonstrating the connection between action and learning. By embracing self-cultivation, leaders embark on an inner journey to align spirit, body, and mind, fostering authenticity and clarity in their actions.
Equally vital is the external dimension: building collaborative partnerships to co-create unified and transformative approaches to address societal challenges. This session explores how conscious leadership integrates personal growth with collective action, empowering organizations to lead with purpose, inspire wellbeing, and drive meaningful change in a complex, interconnected world.

Buildings are responsible for nearly 40% of all global emissions, with 15% accounting for their heating and cooling – underscoring the urgent need for sustainable solutions. One of the most effective options are heat pumps—a game-changing technology that reduces our dependence on fossil fuels while making homes and buildings more comfortable and energy-efficient through electrification or decarbonization.
However, heat pumps are often misunderstood. Hosted in collaboration with Trane Technologies, this webinar will bring together leading voices to explore their benefits, debunk misconceptions, and discuss their role in reducing emissions and enhancing energy efficiency.
This webinar will cover:
Whether you’re a homeowner curious about upgrading, a policymaker shaping sustainable housing, or simply passionate about creating a more sustainable future, this webinar will show why heat pumps are essential —and how they can transform the way we heat and cool our homes while contributing to global decarbonization efforts.

The “UnForeSeen Variable” sculpture has been created by Veronica de Nogales in collaboration with Homeless Entrepreneur to raise awareness on global precarity and climate migration to create positive social impact.
It aims to inspire public-private collaboration that empowers people made of potential out of homelessness. These individuals, who are also the most vulnerable to the climate crisis, must be included in the design of improving the state of the world. Giving them a voice and presence through this artwork will ultimately speed up the process of becoming active, working citizens again with a home.
At 15.00, together with representatives of the city of Davos , Nicole Keller the managing director of GreenUp, Veronica and Andrew Funk will inaugurate the statue.

Losses from the ongoing LA wildfires will be well over $200bn, according to estimates, making them costlier than hurricane Katrina (2005). The 1.5 degree world that we’re currently experiencing also brings unprecedented heatwaves, supercharged hurricanes, and heavy rainfall events. The global financial system is undoubtedly exposed to climate risk, so how prepared is it? Is there a possibility that severe weather events, displacement, supply chain breakdown, and tougher climate policy will affect markets in ways that current models don’t account for, sending the global economy in a downward spiral? Join leading finance experts to explore whether the next global market crash rides on the back of a Green Swan–and whether it can be avoided.

Africa stands at a critical juncture, facing the intertwined challenges of debt, climate change, and biodiversity loss. However, these obstacles also offer a transformative opportunity to embrace SDG investment strategies that can drive the continent toward a prosperous and resilient future. By prioritizing SDG investments, African nations can boost GDP, raise income per capita, and create millions of jobs while safeguarding the environment and strengthening collaboration among governments, businesses, and local communities. Achieving these outcomes requires innovative financing solutions, the promotion of public-private partnerships, and the establishment of a conducive environment for investors. The key question we must address is: how can African public and private stakeholders work together to harness SDG-focused investments, ensuring economic growth, job creation, and environmental stewardship across the continent?

The urgency to act on climate change has never been greater. An "energy supercycle" is under way, expected to continue for at least 20 years, driven by a seismic shift in electricity demand. This growth is accelerated by the increasing need for electrification and digitalization, particularly in high-growth sectors like AI and data centres. Securing a reliable energy supply to meet this demand, while ensuring its affordability and sustainability, is crucial.
This session explores the parallels between today’s energy landscape, focusing on the role of grids in accelerating renewable integration and supporting advanced technologies like small modular reactors (SMRs) and AI-driven energy optimization. It will offer practical insights into how global stakeholders can drive change by embracing future technologies and fostering collaboration to address the climate crisis while building a stronger, more resilient economy.

Leadership in today’s world requires more than vision—it demands conscious action. Doing is knowing, and businesses must lead by example, demonstrating the connection between action and learning. By embracing self-cultivation, leaders embark on an inner journey to align spirit, body, and mind, fostering authenticity and clarity in their actions.
Equally vital is the external dimension: building collaborative partnerships to co-create unified and transformative approaches to address societal challenges. This session explores how conscious leadership integrates personal growth with collective action, empowering organizations to lead with purpose, inspire wellbeing, and drive meaningful change in a complex, interconnected world.

Buildings are responsible for nearly 40% of all global emissions, with 15% accounting for their heating and cooling – underscoring the urgent need for sustainable solutions. One of the most effective options are heat pumps—a game-changing technology that reduces our dependence on fossil fuels while making homes and buildings more comfortable and energy-efficient through electrification or decarbonization.
However, heat pumps are often misunderstood. Hosted in collaboration with Trane Technologies, this webinar will bring together leading voices to explore their benefits, debunk misconceptions, and discuss their role in reducing emissions and enhancing energy efficiency.
This webinar will cover:
Whether you’re a homeowner curious about upgrading, a policymaker shaping sustainable housing, or simply passionate about creating a more sustainable future, this webinar will show why heat pumps are essential —and how they can transform the way we heat and cool our homes while contributing to global decarbonization efforts.
