Global Collaboration Village unveils tipping points hub to help collaborators craft real-world solutions to persistent climate challenges.

Polar tipping points have the potential to disrupt the Earth's interconnected systems, leading to stability challenges across geographies.
Global leaders can come together in the immersive technology space to solve the deepening effects of the climate crisis.
The World Economic Forum introduced a new polar tipping points hub today in its Global Collaboration Village. The purpose-driven platform, which is powered by next-generation technology, will bring global leaders together in the metaverse to solve the deepening effects of the climate and nature crisis. The hub is an immersive virtual reality space and will help confront the pressing issue of climate tipping points, particularly those located in the polar regions.

Large language models (LLMs) have the most potential to benefit jobs that involve critical thinking and complex problem-solving skills, according to a new World Economic Forum white paper.

Businesses and governments must take proactive steps to prepare for the effects of AI in the workforce, including creating an adaptable workforce and implementing systems that facilitate job transitions.
Jobs most at risk of disruption are those that involve routine and repetitive language tasks; jobs with a high degree of personal interaction or physical movement will be least affected.
How will large language models (LLMs), deep-learning algorithms that can recognize, summarize, translate, predict and generate content using very large datasets, affect current and future jobs? That is the focus of the new World Economic Forum white paper Jobs of Tomorrow: Large Language Models and Jobs.

Climate models exploring how we can still limit global warming partly rely on technological and natural solutions to remove CO2 from Earth’s atmosphere, and these ‘carbon removals’ could also help in substituting fossil-based materials and doing away with related emissions. These solutions have been recognised by the EU as a way to reach its climate objectives, supported by the pulp and paper sector. The European Parliament’s vote today on the certification of carbon removals, clearly differentiating between biogenic and fossil carbon, is a step in making this a reality.
