A recent survey of over 6,000 people across the United States and Europe revealed that a majority (54%) believe global leaders have the power to effect change at the World Economic Forum\u2019s (WEF) annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland<\/a>. That number increases to 60% among Gen Z respondents, who are more optimistic than any other generation about the potential impact of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why it matters:<\/strong> Davos, attended by stakeholders including heads of business and government, academia, civil society and youth representatives, is a key opportunity for leaders to collaborate on urgent global issues like climate change and nature loss concerns, the future of AI, societal polarization, and economic growth. This year\u2019s Davos theme is Rebuilding Trust<\/em>, aimed at reinforcing transparency, consistency, and accountability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Salesforce perspective:<\/strong> \u201cIt’s promising to see the next generation seek progress and solutions on today’s most pressing global issues. It’s more critical than ever for the world\u2019s influential leaders, thinkers, and voices to exchange ideas on a global stage, and we need trusted, transparent environments to facilitate that collaboration. The World Economic Forum\u2019s multi-stakeholder dialogues are the perfect way to bridge differences, build trust, and drive positive outcomes.\u201d \u2013 Sabastian Niles, President and Chief Legal Officer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
