The summit\u2019s fourth year comes at a time unlike any other. The COVID-19 pandemic has paralysed economic activity, forcing many to realize that the health of the planet is tied to our shared prosperity. Importantly, global calls for social justice and equality have prompted necessary and challenging conversations that will make society stronger and more inclusive. Public-private cooperation has never been needed more.<\/p>\n

The co-chairs at this year\u2019s summit have been asked to bring new perspectives to tackle the path forward. They will help the 2,100 leaders from government, business and civil society foster collective action and participate in sessions across the programme\u2019s five themes: Shared Prosperity; Catalysing Cooperation; Better Business; Harnessing Technology; and Liveable Planet.<\/p>\n

\u201cCOVID-19 has impacted our lives and livelihoods. It has also galvanized many in the business community to double down and work together towards a great reset,\u201d said Dominic Waughray, Managing Director, World Economic Forum<\/strong>. \u201cWe need to unleash the potential of these fast movers and partner them up with government and civil society to achieve the decade of delivery. At this year\u2019s summit, new voices will bring new perspectives on the important issues of our time: social justice; biodiversity loss; economic recovery; transparent ESG reporting; and the distribution of a COVID-19 vaccine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many sessions will be streamed and available on the World Economic Forum website.
