Radio Davos (World Economic Forum)

News of upcoming episodes of World Vs Virus in which we look at a global effort to counter anti-vax myths and find out how the characters from Sesame Street are helping children around the world survive the pandemic.

The Global Gender Gap Index annually benchmarks the current state and evolution of gender parity across four key dimensions (Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment). It is the longest-standing index tracking the progress of numerous countries’ efforts towards closing these gaps over time since its inception in 2006.

Forum Managing Director Saadia Zahidi talks us through the main finding of the Global Gender Gap Report 2024 and how she sees the progress and challenges in closing the gender gap worldwide.

‘Doomscrolling’ - getting lost in a social media rabbit hole of bad news - became a thing during the pandemic. We talk to a psychologist about what it is and how to beat it, and we learn how to get the rest we need, that sleep cannot deliver.

The world is waiting to see how Donald Trump's return to the White House will affect the global economy and global trade.

And that is reflected in the latest Chief Economists Outlook, the Forum's regular survey on the state of the world.

World Trade Organization Chief Economist Ralph Ossa gives his take on the Outlook and the prospects for the global economy in 2025 - essential listening ahead of Davos 2025.

World Vs Virus is taking a short summer break. We'll see you again next month. If you think you're going to miss us, don't forget to subscribe to our program on your chosen podcast platform so you find out when we're back. Meanwhile, listen back to all previous episodes and check out our sister podcast The Great Reset.

This week the World Economic Forum and the Prince of Wales launched the Great Reset - a project to bring the world's best minds together to seek a better, fairer, greener, healthier planet as we rebuild from the pandemic. The podcast includes contributions from IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva, labour representative Sharan Burrow and the chief executives of Microsoft, Mastercard and BP.

'Spatial computing', 'blended reality', 'the metaverse'. For those of us who still use screens and keyboards to access the digital world, those phrases might not mean very much. But many experts believe the '2D' internet will soon be a thing of the past, and we will all be, one way or another, in a 3D metaverse.

With Apple's Vision Pro headset renewing interest in virtual reality, we speak to two proponents of the metaverse who see both huge opportunities and significant risks.

Guests:

Yonatan Raz-Fridman, CEO of Supersocial and host of the podcast “Into the Metaverse”

While COVID prevented the annual Davos meeting in the Alps for a second year, leaders from governments, business, academia and civil society met online at the Davos Agenda to discuss the world’s biggest issues. The episode has some of the highlights.

Deglobalization, reglobalization, decoupling, de-risking, reshoring friend-shoring, export bans, tariffs and sanctions - is global trade going into reverse, or simply into a new phase?

As the World Economic Forum hosts the Annual Meeting of the New Champions in China, we ask an expert about the state of global trade and where it might be heading.

Guest: Simon Evenett, founder of the St. Gallen Endowment for Prosperity Through Trade.

Are you happy at work? And if so, do you think that helps you do the job better? Jan-Emmanuel de Neve, Professor of Economics and Behavioural Science at the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School thinks so - and says he has the real-world evidence - from companies and millions of employees to prove it.

He also says there is evidence that companies with a happy workforce will perform better for shareholders.

And he answers the question - does that mean working from home is best, or should we all go back to the office?

As opponents to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine seek to isolate Moscow, we ask an expert: what are sanctions, do they work, and how will the sanctions and Russia’s counter measures change the geopolitical landscape?

Mikael Wigell, Research Director at the Finnish Institute of International Affairs and the author of, among many other publications, Geo-economics and Power Politics in the 21st Century, has plenty to say about the efficacy - or otherwise - of sanctions and gives his view on what we should look out for now - not least what China does - and what might be the unexpected consequences of what he calls a new cold war.

False rumours and conspiracy theories pose a real threat to the rollout of a COVID-19 vaccine. Professors Paul Offit and Heidi Larson tell us how we can fight back.

It infected one-third of the world’s population and killed 50 million people, but for most of us the Spanish Flu is little more than a footnote of history. Author and science journalist Laura Spinney tells us what we have still to learn from from the 20th Century's worst pandemic.

As COP27 begins in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, Radio Davos looks at the main themes, and talks to the head of climate action at the World Economic Forum about the role of business.

Guest: Antonia Gawel, head of climate action at the World Economic Forum

What are humans doing in space and why are we talking about bases on the Moon or missions to Mars when there is so much here on Earth that requires our immediate attention? We hear from two people involved in the business of space - one of whom visited space last year, the other who is convinced there will be a city of 1 million humans on Mars. And we link up with the International Space Station to speak to astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti.

This week we’re celebrating 100 episodes of our sister podcast Meet the Leader.

Every week, Linda Lacina interviews leaders - of major companies, organisations, or what we might call ‘thought leaders' in the fields of academia or campaign groups.

If you want to know what makes these individuals tick, and what lessons we might learn from their experiences, subscribe to Meet the Leader - you can find it on our podcast website, wef.ch/podcasts and on any podcast app.

In this episode:

Jane Goodall, Founder, Jane Goodall Institute; Al Gore, Founder, Climate Reality Project; former US Vice President; Hans Vestberg, CEO, Verizon; Bas Van Abel, Founder, Fairphone; Punit Renjen, Global CEO Emeritus, Deloitte; Caroline Casey, Founder, The Valuable 500; Harmony Jade Wayner, International Arctic Research Center; Andrea Fuder, Chief Procurement Officer, Volvo Group; Yuxiang Zhou, Founder, Black Lake Technologies; John Amaechi, Founder, APS Intelligence.

Seafarers are among the forgotten victims of the pandemic - thousands have been stranded at sea for months as ports around the world refuse to let them land. We hear from two ship’s captains about the human impact.

Ian Bremmer, author and founder of the research and consulting firm Eurasia Group, says while many of the global bodies created after the Second World War are no longer fit to cope with today’s crises, the size of those crises themselves, might compel them to reform and renew.

For 10 years the World Economic Forum has tracked the world’s progress on getting better, cleaner energy for all. We look at the latest findings and ask how we can achieve climate change goals.

If you’re lucky enough to have some spare cash to invest, how do you decide where to put it? In the past few years the answer to that question may have changed. The rise of robo-advisers - algorithms that can guide you - and of 'finfluencers' - social media influencers keen to impart their wisdom - have transformed the way many people manage their money.

To find out more about the big changes happening in financial markets and the way individuals approach them, we talk to Steph Guild, CFA and Head of Investment Strategy at Robinhood Financial, and to Laura Astorino, a Managing Director at Accenture.

On today’s Radio Davos, co-hosted by ‘Exponential View’ writer, author and podcaster Azeem Azhar, UN Secretary-General warns of a ‘great fracture’ in the world, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis tells us the war in Ukraine affects the whole world. We talk to Caroline Casey of the disability inclusion campaign Valuable 500 and tour the art exhibition bringing the voice of refugees to Davos.

“It is essential for the two countries to have meaningful engagement on climate trade and technology to avoid the decoupling of economies and even the possibility of future confrontations.”

UN chief António Guterres says the world can well do without a ‘great fracture’ caused by rivalry between the United States and China. And he calls the continued exploration for fossil fuels the stuff of dystopian science fiction.

Ty Greene, Project Lead, Health Equity at the World Economic Forum tells us about health equity and how companies leading are pledging to achieve it.

Caroline Casey, founder and director of the Valuable 500 tells Linda Lacina’s Meet the Leader podcast about a surprising pivotal moment in her life that galvanized her life’s work. 

Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis tells Radio Davos why the world needs to unite behind Ukraine.

And we stroll up the stairs from the Radio Davos studio, in the heart of the Davos congress centre, to admire artwork created by refugee children around the world, and speak to the people behind the project, Brazilian artist Vik Muniz and Max Frieder of Artolution.

As a preview of the Jobs Reset Summit, Bloomberg TV’s Francine Lacqua joins us to look at the changing world of work and what might be the jobs of the future.

"The global economy - it's a complicated picture, in the sense that it's doing better than we expected just six months ago but it's doing much worse than what it was doing six years ago."

World Bank Chief Economist Indermit Gill gives his assessment of the 'glass half-full' global economy.

And as the World Economic Forum publishes the latest edition of its Chief Economists Outlook, the Forum's Head of Economic Growth, Revival and Transformation, Aengus Collins, talks us through the highlights.

As the world emerges from COVID, economies are revving back to life - but so is something that many parts of the world have not seen much of for decades - inflation. 

So what is inflation and why has it suddenly reared up around the world?

UBS Chief Economist Paul Donovan, author of The Truth About Inflation, speaks to Radio Davos.

Theatre director Jude Kelly founded the Women of the World (WOW) Festival almost two decades ago to spur conversations about women, men and feminism.

WOW is now a global phenomenon, but does the rise of online misogyny pose a threat to progress on gender equality.

Jude Kelly, who spoke to Radio Davos on World Women's Day 2024, says why it is vital to include men in the conversations about an issue that affects us all.

This episode was first published on 28 March, 2024. Radio Davos will resume new weekly podcasts from September 2024.

With sports in lockdown, online gaming is enjoying a bonanza. Will esports replace physical games in the long term? And why were gamers better prepared than the rest of us to weather the pandemic? Plus: the race for a virus - we hear from companies on the scientific front line.

The former US vice president has been pushing for climate action for decades. In this interview he says we are at a ‘political tipping point’ after which polluters will no longer hold sway, but admits that greenhouse gas emissions are still growing faster than any action to cut them back to zero.

This is an edited version of an interview first published on the World Economic Forum’s Meet the Leader podcast. Interview by Linda Lacina.

Claude Marshall fled Nazi Germany as a small boy in the 1930s and now helps today’s refugees by fundraising for sports facilities in refugee camps.

He tells Radio Davos why sport is so important for traumatised young people, and compares the plight of people today forced from their home with his own childhood experience.

The World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting, bringing leaders and experts together from around the world, traditionally happens in January. But for the first time, thanks to COVID-19, the Davos meeting is being held in May. But as Forum President Borge Brende says in this preview podcast, the absence of snow is not the main reason this Davos will be like no other.

The main greenhouse gas causing climate change is carbon dioxide - a colourless, odourless gas that is otherwise harmless to our health. But emissions of CO2 are often accompanied by other, toxic gases. So can we tackle air pollution - which kills 7 million people a year around the world - at the same time as we fight climate change? We hear from three cities - Buenos Aires, London and Singapore, that are doing just that by managing road transport to cut emissions.

What is COP26, why is it important, and what should we expect? With guest co-host Gideon Lichfield, the global editor in chief of Wired, we look at the key issues at the Glasgow climate summit where world leaders need to show how we can achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and avert climate catastrophe. Includes an interview with veteran climate campaigner Jennifer Morgan, the Greenpeace chief who has been to every single COP.

US climate envoy John Kerry and World Economic Forum President Brende Borge launched an initiative at COP26 to bring big companies and customers together to build demand for green products that require major investment and innovation. This episode has some highlights from the event which can be seen in full here: https://www.weforum.org/events/forum-cop26-live-2021/sessions/first-movers-coalition-launch

Dani Rodrik has long argued against unfettered globalization and supports countries' use of industrial policy to pursue economic development.

The Harvard economist joins us to talk about the usefulness and limitations of trade tariffs, economic nationalism, and the impact of global economics on democracy.

The cost of living crisis around the world is the number one risk in the short-term, according to the latest Global Risks Report, but climate change remains the greatest challenge in the medium and long term. In this episode we hear from two of the people involved in creating the Global Risks Report - required reading ahead of the Annual Meeting in Davos - Carolina Klint, managing director at Marsh, and Peter Giger, Group Chief Risk Officer at Zurich Insurance Group.

'As 2023 begins, the world is facing a set of risks that feel both wholly new and eerily familiar.'

So reads the executive summary of the Global Risks Report 2023, the result of a major annual survey conducted by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with Marsh McLennan and Zurich Insurance Group.

'We've seen a return of older risks inflation, cost of living crises, trade wars, capital outflows from emerging markets, widespread social unrest, geopolitical confrontation, and the spectre of nuclear warfare which few of this generation's business leaders or public policymakers have experienced.'

The Global Risks Report is a fascinating read. It looks at short-term and long-term perceptions. And in the longer term, or the medium term, the threat posed by climate change is the top risk on a ten-year time horizon. But in the short term, worries about natural disasters and extreme weather fall to second place, pushed off the top spot by the cost of living crisis.

You can find the report at wef.ch/grr2023. It's required reading ahead of the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting in Davos where figures from government, business, academia and civil society will come together to discuss the world's most pressing issues.

COVID caused people to snub or even flee cities and the New York Post even suggested “NYC is dead forever”. Two experts tell World Vs Virus why cities will survive but will be changed forever.

How are poorer countries facing up? We speak to David Miliband of the International Rescue Committee, and hear from Bangladesh and a Somali refugee. Also: a pastor, a rabbi and a mullah walk into a Zoom chat; and listen to what COVID-19 sounds like.

The rise of generative artificial intelligence raises a lot of philosophical questions. So can philosophy help us make AI that serves humanity for the good?

On this episode we hear from 'applied ethicist' Cansu Canca, AI Ethics Lead at the Institute for Experiential AI, Northeastern University, USA; and from Sara Hooker, head of Cohere For AI, a research lab that seeks to solve complex machine learning problems.

COVID transformed the world of work, but AI’s impact will be much bigger.

“It’s the first time in the history of humanity that we have to rethink what it means to be human. It’s no longer, ‘I think, therefore I am’. Most of our thinking can be outsourced to machines.”

Artificial intelligence is about to transform the world of work, says Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, Chief Innovation Officer at ManpowerGroup and the author of ‘I, Human: AI, Automation, and the Quest to Reclaim What Makes Us Unique’.

He looks at the huge changes COVID and home-working have already wrought, and how we can cope with the even bigger AI revolution.

Can we avoid climate catastrophe? Salesforce ‘futurist’ Peter Schwartz sets out three main scenarios for the future of humanity. And US climate envoy John Kerry pops in during his travels to drum up support for climate action ahead of the Glasgow summit.

How is Ukraine managing to keep electricity and heating supplies during the war? Government and industry chiefs address a World Economic Forum online event to explain the challenges and ask for help. As well as the supply of energy, they discussed the threat to Ukraine’s many nuclear power plants and called for ever tougher sanctions on Russian energy exports.

Plus: UNICEF spokesperson James Elder, just back from Lviv, updates us on the humanitarian situation and ‘the biggest refugee crisis we’ve seen since World War Two’.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to lead a huge company, Linda Lacina has the answers. In her podcast, Meet the Leader, she chats with a senior figure - usually a CEO - of a big organisation to find out what makes them tick and to get tips we might all learn from. This episode features the chief executive of telecoms group Verizon, Hans Vestberg.

How can we navigate the ‘polycrisis’? A range of leaders give their quick tips on how to set priorities and stay true to your values.

The co-founder of Wikipedia - the world’s fifth most popular website - had a Q&A with entrepreneurs from the World Economic Forum’s UpLink programme. His key word of advice: don’t be scared to try.

Wondering what job you’ll be doing in five years’ time? Chances are it may be quite different from what you do now, and you’ll need different skills. The transition to clean energy and the rise of artificial intelligence are likely to have a big impact on the world of work so employers, too, need to adopt a ‘skills-first’ mindset.

We hear from Tan Kok Yam, Chief Executive of SkillsFuture Singapore, who is putting theory into action, and to Tarika Barrett, CEO of Girls Who Code, a non-profit that equips young women with the computing skills to pursue 21st century opportunities.

There are more forcibly displaced people than ever - 82 million - despite the pandemic making it harder to flee across borders. On World Refugee Day, Radio Davos speaks to UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi, and to Victor Ochen, who grew up in a conflict zone in northern Uganda and has used his experience as a displaced person to help others.

A 20-seater plane powered by a zero-emissions hydrogen fuel cell engine just made its first test flight. We talk to the company behind it, that believes all planes can be made zero-emissions.

In a recent test flight, ZeroAvia, an engine builder, made history by flying a 20-seater aircraft completely powered by green hydrogen, a zero-emissions fuel. The breakthrough test, which is the largest aircraft to ever be flown using hydrogen power, is a promising step towards a zero-emissions future for the aviation industry. 

In this episode of Radio Davos, Val Miftakhov, the CEO of ZeroAvia, talks about the company's mission to develop zero-emission planes, the potential for commercial airlines to adopt this technology, and the role of customer demand and government regulation in achieving a more sustainable aviation industry. The episode also explores the challenges and opportunities in transitioning to zero-emission aviation.

“Arguably the most common devastating disease that most people have never heard of. It affects at least one in nine women. It is the cause of up to 50% of infertility cases in women.”

Endometriosis is the subject of director Shannon Cohn’s documentary Below the Belt. She tells how women have been overlooked, disbelieved and gaslit by medical practitioners and policymakers - and why that has to stop.

The Netflix documentary 'The Tinder Swindler' is a mind-boggling case of so-called 'romance fraud' in which a charming, handsome - and apparently very rich - man meets women on a dating app - gets them to fall in love with him - and then cons them out of lots of money.

Cecilie Fjellhøy is the Norwegian woman at the centre of the documentary whose life was torn apart by the actions of a conman. A survivor of romance fraud on a grand scale, she now advocates for the rights of, and support for, others who find themselves in similar grim circumstances.

We also hear from Sean Doyle, who works at the World Economic Forum’s Centre for Cybersecurity, on just how widespread romance fraud really is, why it’s a multinational, multi-billion form of cyber crime, and what is being done to combat it.

In 2003 - the a year before a 19-year-old Harvard student called Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook - Philip Rosedale launched Second Life - an online virtual world that looked set to transform the internet.

Two decades later, with the Facebook company, now called Meta, and its competitors seeking to develop the metaverse, what does Rosedale see as the future of the still emerging technology?

A year ago in Davos, energy - particularly the disruption to supply and prices caused by the war in Ukraine - was a top issue at the Forum's Annual Meeting and on Radio Davos we invited two experts in to set out the top lines of the energy discussion.

Roberto Bocca, who heads up energy at the World Economic Forum, and John Defterios, a business professor and former CNN journalist, return this year, as war is an even bigger issue. They also discuss the 'energy transition', especially how that might look in the global South, and they address what was the top issue at this year's Davos: artificial intelligence - which many people believe could play a central role in the energy transition, but which is also itself creating a surge in demand for energy to power all the compute needed to create AI.
