===== Coronavirus and green recovery =====
In April 2020, the forum published an article that postulates that the COVID-19 pandemic is linked to the destruction of nature. The number of emerging diseases is rising and this rise is linked to [[deforestation]] and [[species loss]]. In the article, there are multiple examples of the degradation of ecological systems caused by humans. It is also says that half of the global [[GDP]] is moderately or largely dependent on nature. The article concludes that the recovery from the pandemic should be linked to nature recovery.<ref name="weforum.org"/>

The forum proposed a plan for a [[green recovery]]. The plan includes advancing [[circular economy]]. Among the mentioned methods, there is [[green building]], [[sustainable transport]], [[organic farming]], [[urban open space]], [[renewable energy]] and [[electric vehicle]]s.<ref>{{cite web |last=Bleischwitz |first=Raimund |title=COVID-19: 5 ways to create a green recovery |url=https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/06/five-ways-to-kickstart-a-green-recovery/ |website=World Economic Forum |access-date=19 July 2020 |archive-date=4 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200804181309/https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/06/five-ways-to-kickstart-a-green-recovery |url-status=live }}</ref>
