President Alvarado met Al Gore at World Economic Forum

By the A.M. Costa Rica staff

President Carlos Alvarado met on Tuesday with Al Gore, former vice president of the United States and spokesman on climate change, during his work meetings at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

The president was able to discuss the de-carbonization challenges of Costa Rica and the challenges of democracy in the region with Mr. Gore.

President Alvarado said that, "Costa Rica must lead this technological and scientific transformation that lives in the world, with our principles of peace, equality, equity, freedom and respect for the environment.”

According to the Presidential House, the meeting took place at the end of the first day of President Alvarado's participation in the Globalization 4.0 Forum: Forming a global architecture in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

According to the Presidential House, President Alvarado’s visit was in response to the invitation of Professor Klaus Schwab, founder and executive president of the World Economic Forum.

Since its inception, the WEF has become the world's most important platform for public and private cooperation. It involves business, political, intellectual and social leaders from all over the world who, because they are committed to improving the planet, seek to influence industrial, regional and global agendas.

Since founding the Forum in 1971, Schwab has moved to promote the worldwide concept that the management of a modern company should serve not only the shareholders, but all the parties involved and thus achieve long-term growth and prosperity.

President Alvarado also took the opportunity to remind world leaders of the competitiveness that Costa Rica has achieved in the international context and the country's determined commitment to the OECD membership process.

The president was able to discuss the de-carbonization challenges of Costa Rica and the challenges of democracy in the region with Mr. Gore.

That organization is made up of a select group of countries that have decided to implement the best practices in terms of inclusive development, transparency, efficiency and sustainable development.

Albert Arnold Gore Jr. is an American politician and environmentalist who served as the 45th vice president of the United States from 1993 to 2001.

After his term as vice-president ended in 2001, Gore remained prominent as an author and environmental activist, whose work in climate change activism earned him (jointly with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.
