How do we ensure the green transition doesn't penalise the poorest?

from Radio Davos · host Robin Pomeroy

A new report from the World Economic Forum has defined six 'archetype' countries and looks at the differing challenges across the globe, and what policymakers need to know to achieve an 'equitable transition'.
