Resilience in crisis: Perspectives from Davos

| Video

At the 53rd World Economic Forum Annual Meeting that took place in mid-January in Davos, Switzerland, global leaders, business executives, and representatives from civil society came together for discussions under the theme of “Cooperation in a fragmented world.” A compounding set of global crises over the past couple of years has rocked inflation and geopolitics globally, creating vulnerability, fear of recession, and divisiveness. With the event being the largest gathering in its history and the first in-person meeting in three years, delegates debated the current state of the world and urgent priorities for the year ahead.
