World Economic Forum launches a series of articles by world leaders with ideas to improve the state of the world

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has pioneered a new article series presenting exclusive, forward-looking, and action-oriented ideas that should be adopted up to 2030 to improve the state of the world.

This decade the world will likely witness more social, economic, and environmental changes than over the last century. While the COVID-19 pandemic called for immediate reforms, the mainstreaming of stakeholder capitalism, the impacts of climate change, the escalation of next-generation technologies, and the empowerment of citizenship will pave the way for a ‘resetting’ of the global economy and social practices.

To write the articles the WEF invited a group of individuals who have been selected as Young Global Leaders (YGLs) in the course of their careers. Authors include heads of government, business leaders and scientists, prominent intellectuals and civil society leaders.

Rodrigo Tavares, Granito Group’s founder and president, is the curator of the series. “At the end of the project, which will run for one year, we hope to have assembled innovative proposals from some of the world’s best minds in areas such as finance, environmental issues, tech, politics, international trade, and so many others. Sustainable finance will certainly be covered by some of the authors,” said Tavares.

The articles are published on the WEF website and globally, through a partnership with Project Syndicate. The kick-off article was penned by Sanna Marin, Finland’s Prime Minister.
