Calling on business, governmental and civil society leaders to act – individually and in coalitions – the Forum offers a lengthy catalog of “lighthouse” initiatives to inspire, inform and spur engagement. The initiatives highlighted in the report illustrate how innovation and investment can solve societal, economic, environmental, technological and industry challenges around the world.
