Climate Transition in Emerging Economies – World Economic Forum Davos 2022

Many emerging economies already suffering disproportionately from the effects of climate change may be at risk of further impact. However, some are well placed to lead the way in adopting new technologies, measures and strategies to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
