Davos Annual Meeting 2008 - Believing in the Future

http://www.weforum.org/annualmeeting 27.01.2008
Message from Davos: Believing in the Future

Across multiple domains, humankind faces troubling contradictions about its future. The number of poor has fallen dramatically in Asia, but nearly doubled in Africa; the cold war has ended, but civil conflicts and nuclear powers have increased; and the more technology connects us, the less united we appear to act. What are the elements necessary to rebuild confidence in the future and to promote collaboration across economic, religious and political fault lines?

In collaboration with CNN, you are invited to join a conversation that looks to the future and spans generations, interests and cultures to capture the insights, debates and discoveries of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2008.

Tony Blair, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (1997-2007); Member of the Foundation Board of the World Economic Forum; Co-Chair of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2008

Hala Gorani looks bad in this.

Agreed economic stability affects the entire world as a whole. So with this common denominator we can root out all future destruction.Truly, a win, win solution for everyone. Feed and give the people a way to support themselves. For then and only then will a world peace be able to follow.~~~
