Water

The World Economic Forum’s videos capture highlights from our Annual Meeting in Davos and other events around the globe, and reports on our communities, publications and initiatives.

Here are some highlights from 2013:

“We’re as dependent on the oceans as any whale or any coral reef.” In this video, oceanographer Sylvia Earle explains why it is so important to save our oceans – and what you can do to help.

What do crime, disease, pollution and financial markets all have in common? Quite a lot, according to Geoffrey West. In this video, he calls for a global initiative to tackle the “tsunami of problems”.

After years of civil war, can young people promote tolerance, dialogue and democracy in El Salvador? Yes – and this Global Shapers project shows how it can be done.

Who will be the Googles, Facebooks and Amazons of tomorrow? Find out who the 2013 Technology Pioneers are – and how they will change the way we live, work and think.

What are the transformations facing businesses, economies and societies? We asked 1,500 of the world’s leading thinkers for their opinion at our annual Summit on the Global Agenda in November.

How can the chemicals industry help resolve some of the most pressing issues in society, from unemployment to climate change to stalled economic growth? In this video, leaders from the industry explain how they can be “part of the solution, not the problem”.
