Davos Livestream
A collection of our high level panels at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos
Arctic Bascecamp at Davos
Arctic Basecamp is a team of Arctic experts and scientists who ‘speak science to power’ in order to encourage bold climate action. Their flagship event brings the Arctic to the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting at Davos where they set up a real polar science basecamp, with an expedition tent acting as a workplace during the day and a dormitory at night, camping in sub-zero temperatures calling for action from global leaders to apply responsive and responsible leadership to address global risks from polar change.
They participate in high level panels within the official Forum Congress Centre, at other venue sin Davos and of course at the Arctic Basecamp tent.

Responsible Business Education as the New Norm
The leading doctrine in economics and business ignored for too long the interdependencies between business, nature and society. Business schools need a sustainability makeover. Transforming business education is about a new leadership playbook: one that places sustainability, equity and accountability at its heart.
In January 2023, at the SDG Tent, during the World Economic forum in Davos, the Financial Times announced the winners of the Sustainable Business School Award. Read more about the award here.
