What happens in Davos stays in Davos

1600 private jets descended upon the beautiful ski resort of
Switzerland, as the world’s elites gathered for the 50th World
Economic Forum. Plenty of pledges were made to address some of
our most pressing challenges, from sustainability, stakeholder
capitalism, to gender equality, and the future of work. 


While Greta Thunberg was calling out the dire consequences of the
world’s inaction on climate change, another world leader was
challenging her message of “doom.” While historian Yuval Harari
was sounding out the warning on the threats facing humanity in
the 21st century, Google CEO Sundar Pichai reminded us of the
upside potential to use technology for good. Elsewhere, Germany's
Chancellor, Angela Merkel, gave a special address to the forum
attendees, calling out the polarization of our societies and the
perils of echo chambers.


Does it really take a college degree in economics to see that
what we are doing might not be best for the planet that we call
home?


Will what happens in Davos literally stay in Davos? Or is there
hope for real impact and action from the world’s most powerful
and richest? Join Arun, Bradley, and Theo on a new episode of One
Vision, as we share our optimism and skepticism on #WEF2020.
