Press Conference - Global Cooperation Barometer 2026

The Global Cooperation Barometer 2026 finds that despite continued fragmentation, geopolitical tensions and increasing trade barriers, global cooperation is proving resilient. As the traditional mechanics of global multilateralism decline, smaller, regional, more flexible, and purpose-led coalitions, show how cooperation is adapting. The World Economic Forum and McKinsey & Company present the third edition of the Global Cooperation Barometer, a vital tool to measure and guide collaboration in trade, technology, climate, health and security. Join us for an exclusive media briefing as we unveil insights from the 2026 Barometer, featuring high-profile speakers, including World Economic Forum President and CEO Børge Brende and McKinsey Global Managing Partner Bob Sternfels. Discover how leaders can adopt agile, multi-level approaches to navigate today’s fragmented landscape.
