The world's political and business elites gather for the annual Davos summit from Monday to promote "cooperation in a fragmented world", with war in Ukraine, the climate crisis and global trade tensions high on the agenda.
For half a century, the World Economic Forum in the Swiss Alps has brought together executives and policymakers to sing the praises of globalisation, but that process is seen as unwinding as new fault lines harden around the world.
The Covid-19 pandemic, growing US-China hostility and Russia's invasion of Ukraine have led some politicians and experts to even speculate about "an end to the era of globalisation", which began in earnest in the decade after the first Davos meeting in 1971.
The agenda for this year's meeting in the snow-deficient Alps, starting next Monday, reflects this gloomy reality.
"There's no doubt that our 53rd annual meeting in Davos will happen against the most complex geopolitical and geoeconomic backdrop in decades. So much is at stake," said Borge Brende, a former Norwegian foreign minister who is now president of the meeting.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and UN chief Antonio Guterres are among the most prominent figures attending the forum, alongside nearly 400 government ministers and policymakers, 600 CEOs and a smattering of celebrities, including actor Idris Elba.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will appear by video link on Wednesday for a live interview.
Other sessions will discuss whether we are living through "de-globalisation or re-globalisation", the impact of trade tensions and supply-chain disruptions, the cost-of-living crisis and the planet's heating climate.
Karen Harris, an economist at the consulting firm Bain & Company, said that hopes had faded that "we would go back to the old normal, this sort of globalised world".
"I think there's an acknowledgement now that that era is ending."

And by “Tackle” they mean “Make Worse”.

We’re on to their game, and they’re afraid. Good!

These aren’t true elites - they’re and folks who made a lot of money and want to feel important.
Nothing that’s come out of their meetings has worked. The tree is known by it’s fruit.
Every American attending should be arrested for High Treason upon their return.
Shouldn’t they “zoom” it in? You know, to save on all of that jet fuel.?
Some are more equal than others.
The attendees all believe in the Big Reset. They go home recharged to advance the agenda. The WEF is a pagan cult.
Davos, I can’t think of a more suitable site for an outpouring of heavenly fire and brimstone.
Sound and fury, hopefully signifying nothing.
The more they try to control the more people walk away and de-globalize!
I, like many people around the world, am fervently praying for a 300 ft asteroid to slam into Davos today. These people are pure scum.
Tackle AKA gain control and dictate
VERY SUSPICTIOUS
So, the Globalists are going to tackle De-Globalization?
I totally believe them!!!
What climate crisis?

Agreed. As I live in occupied Alberta, please see my tagline.
There are lots of fruits (and nuts) attending ‘der Führer und Reichskanzler’ K(louse) Schwab’s fantasy planning gabfest.
