Razan Khalifa Al Mubarak recently published a compelling editorial on the World Economic Forum website in observance of World Environment Day. In her article, Ms. Al Mubarak discusses the ecological and economic imperatives of investing in natural capital, highlighting the crucial role such investments play in sustainable development.

Her leadership aims to inspire higher environmental ambitions, change the narrative around nature, and build robust partnerships to support a sustainable economy.
