THREAD: We wrapped @Davos #WEF19 today & I want to share my thoughts on the mood this year. Discussions focused on geopolitical & economic risks to the energy sector, #climatechange, optimism abt the pace & promise of technological innovation & outlook for clean energy.
Compared to 2018, the economic mood @Davos was more grim & subdued. Ongoing US-China trade dispute weighed heavily.. Many expect some resolution before March 2 deadline, but thorny issues in relationship will persist & China digging in for long-term. Brexit added to worries.
Last year’s lamenting by world leaders that the U.S. had withdrawn from the Paris climate agreement were replaced w/ deep concern that the U.S. has exited the world stage completely.
We've had the most fulfilling time at #WEF19. Along with world leaders, sector leaders and other global shapers, we shared ideas on how the Fourth Industrial Revolution is changing the world around us. #OandoAtWEF #Davos2019 /1
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is projected to unlock $3.7 trillion in economic value by 2025, also helping to close the vast income and wealth gaps that opened in the wake of the digital age. #WEF19 #OandoAtWEF #Davos2019 /2
One of the bolder ideas on this is from @BaldwinRE who posed the argument that AI, in principle will be good for equality, but will be quite disruptive in the mean time. #WEF19 #OandoAtWEF #Davos2019 /3
Day 3 has been an insightful one for us at #WEF19. Some of the ideas today revolved around what Diversity and Inclusion means for businesses and global development as a whole. (Follow the thread) #OandoAtWEF
During the session on job creation strategy for the 4th industrial revolution, the moderator, @RanaForoohar made the bold, but true, statement that 68% of children in primary school will end up in jobs that don't exist today. #OandoAtWEF #WEF19
The panel discussion focused on being intentional about creating jobs for the future. #OandoAtWEF #WEF19
How much do indirect emissions from extracting, processing and transporting oil and gas to consumers add to full lifecycle emissions? We looked in detail at this in @iea #WEO2018 (thread below, more at bit.ly/2WhiPkq)
The answer varies, depending on where and how the oil and gas is produced. In a first comprehensive global assessment, led by @TofMcGlade, we found that the most emissions-intensive sources of oil and gas have four times more indirect emissions than the least 2/10
This matters. Total indirect greenhouse gas emissions from oil and gas operations today, including CO2 and methane, are around 5.2 billion tonnes CO2-eq, that’s 15% of total energy sector GHG emissions 3/10
It was an awesome first day at the World Economic Forum in Davos. We kicked off with a session on the strategic outlook on energy; which highlighted innovative solutions that will shape the future of the energy sector.

One of the innovative ideas shared was Centrica’s Local Energy Market trial in Cornwall, which will leverage blockchain in revolutionising the way consumers buy and sell energy. #OandoAtWEF #Davos2019 #WEF19
We then headed to the Globalisation 4.0 session where we listened to six inspiring global shapers speak on their active contributions towards globalisation and creating a sustainable planet. #OandoAtWEF #WEF19 #Davos19
We are inspired by Mohamed Hassan Mohamud, a global shaper who despite living in a refugee camp for over 20yrs and losing his mother, decided against the victimhood mentality. #WEF19 #OandoAtWEF #WEF2019
He stood up to change the situation for himself and other refugees setting up a global shapers community within his camp and becoming an activist for refugees. #WEF19 #OandoAtWEF
We look at this and think what is your excuse ? Why are you not living or creating the life you want? Or leaving the word a better place than you found it. #WEF19 #OandoAtWEF #Motivation
