Watch this 50-minute panel discussion from the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2025 exploring the complex trilemma between climate action, global development, and middle-class prosperity. Learn how OECD countries are dramatically increasing spending on green industrial policies to 2% of GDP annually, and examine the potential consequences for developing nations' traditional growth pathways. Join speakers Gilberto Tomazoni, Dani Rodrik, Haslinda Amin, Teresa Ribera, and Al Gore as they tackle the critical question: How can we simultaneously accelerate climate mitigation, reduce global poverty, and protect workers and consumers in advanced economies? This session is part of the WEF's 55th Annual Meeting, which brings together over 100 governments, international organizations, business leaders, civil society representatives, and experts to address global challenges through public-private cooperation.
