During the opening plenary session of the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting 2000 in Davos, Switzerland, participants voted climate change as the leading challenge for the 21st century among ten potential issues. Although many profound events have transpired since January 2000, advancing the issue of global climate change remains a very important challenge - one where businesses can take a leadership role.
The World Economic Forum continued since then to serve as a platform for discussion, debate and action on the important issue of global climate change.
