The Davos Agenda virtual event offers the first global platform of 2022 for world leaders to come together to share their visions for the year ahead.

The week long virtual event, taking place on the World Economic Forum website and social media channels 17-21 January 2022, will feature heads of state and government, CEOs and other leaders. They will discuss the critical challenges facing the world today and present their ideas on how to address them.

The event will also mark the launch of several Forum initiatives including efforts to accelerate the race to net-zero emissions, ensure the economic opportunity of nature-positive solutions, create cyber resilience, strengthen global value chains, build economies in fragile markets through humanitarian investing, bridge the vaccine manufacturing gap and use data solutions to prepare for the next pandemic.

“Everyone hopes that in 2022 the COVID-19 pandemic, and the crises that accompanied it, will finally begin to recede," said Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum. "But major global challenges await us, from climate change to rebuilding trust and social cohesion. To address them, leaders will need to adopt new models, look long term, renew cooperation and act systemically. The Davos Agenda 2022 is the starting point for the dialogue needed for global cooperation in 2022.”

SPECTRE and Blofeld do not even pretend to hide what they are up to.

[unixfox]

It doesn’t take a bunch of self serving elites to tell us the world is on fire.

Yet here they are lecturing us again.

[rktman]

“Leaders”? Useless potentates perhaps.

[Pollard]

Quite a few prior WEF “Young Global Leaders” are now actual world leaders.

[bk1000]

One nuke. Just one, and the world becomes a better place overnight.

[Alas Babylon!]

Here he is with his cat...

WE expect you to die, Mr. FReeper!

[Pollard]

Not this year. This year it’s virtual.

[seowulf]

No worries, brothers.

It's all proceeding according to plan.

Cheers!

What a perfect setting. Would be a shame should something happen.

[rktman]

Hackers?

[jagusafr]

One assumes arrangements have been made to have a fly on the wall....

[rktman]

It’s an inflated ZOOM call this year. You know to show solidarity in slowing the spread of CONvid-19 and to lessen the carbon footprint whining about private jets by grrrrrrreta and her pals.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Eyepatch McCain had his profile scrubbed so we would not know he is one of them.

[waterhill]

What a dirtbag he is.

As long as someone has presence of mind to archive things, the internet never forgets; https://web.archive.org/web/20190702110138/https://www.younggloballeaders.org/new-class?utf8=%E2%9C%93&region=a0Tb00000000DC9EAM#results

[waterhill]

Well, crap. Even the little climate grrl cannot mess it up!

[rktman]

Well she could still whine about all the ‘lectricity they’re wasting.

[liberalh8ter]

It seems to me, these summits that take place have become a lot like de-facto U.N.’s. Gore and Yellen attending are like “unofficial” emissaries. How much of what goes on there finds it's way back to public policy? I admit I really don't know much about this (probably evident from my remarks) but looking through my skeptical glasses, this looks like the blurring of lines between transparency in our government and international influence in its policies.
