This is a remarkable admission that the thing lacking from the climate agenda is democracy, and that the likes of WEF and Davos man want to find a way around that problem without resorting to actually testing 'collective will'.
"Our main focus is to identify key stakeholders, whether from the corporate world, whether from NGOs, who really get that and really want to push the boundaries to do transformative work, and to hopefully create an unstoppable force".
Rather than asking people want they want.
It's not enough for these resetters and better-builders to set out their pitch, and to persuade people, through democracy, to make the world a 'better' place.
Democracy is an obstacle to their ambitions.

The guy is a nobody. @Desolenator claims to "use solar power to turn complex water sources into quality water".
Why?
That's not something we should accept as a Good Thing at face value.
It's not transformative. It doesn't make the world a better place.
It's almost an apology.

"From October 7 to December 4, 2020, advertisements in popular mobile games like Angry Birds and Words With Friends were replaced by the survey in 17 languages. "
That's not how "the people" express their voices, Greenpeace.
I'm guessing here, but I don't think the authors of this article have much experience in engineering or installing home heating systems, and I don't get the impression that they are particularly interested in hearing criticisms from those that do, either.
These are wonks.
They 'research' 'innovation', but ultimately believe that R&D is just a question of policy and funding.
It's political will alone that will make airsource heat pumps viable, you see. And you'll have one, whether or not you want one, or you will freeze.
I once interviewed a policeman during Blair's term. Off camera, he told me that he had been turned into a kind of social worker. We had to be creative to find a way of saying it on camera so that he didn't get fired.
