The WEF said that fighting "climate change" can save Democracy as long as consumers stop burning coal, oil, and gas in exchange for green renewables.
The WEF paper argues for the past 15 years, Democracy has been in decline worldwide.
It adds that ignoring progress toward a "low-carbon economy could put democracies in greater economic peril, not less" while repeating the broader demand of environmental activists for companies to stop investing in fossil fuels.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has brought renewed focus on this economic weakness, the WEF says.

Texas grid operator ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas) issued a conservation alert on Monday.
ERCOT manages electric power to more than 26 million Texas customers and represents 90% of the state’s electric load, according to the company.
ERCOT asked customers to voluntarily raise thermostats a degree or two, turn off lights, avoid using ovens, washing machines and dryers, and unplug appliances if possible during the hours of 2-8 pm.
According to ERCOT, a heatwave along with very low winds is causing the latest conservation alert.
“Wind generation is currently generating significantly less than what it historically generated in this time period,” ERCOT said in a press release. “Current projections show wind generation coming in less than 10 percent of its capacity.”
