 Our hyper-connected world is more complex than ever before. So too are the challenges we face, like climate change, conflict, income equality. These kinds of challenges share one critical feature. They're all interconnected. We can find the solutions, but we need to think beyond any single area or interest. In 2008, the World Economic Forum created the Network of Global Agenda Councils. The Councils are a unique community of more than 1,500 leaders from government, business, civil society and academia who dedicate their time to the world's foremost intellectual network. Its members provide potential solutions and new insights about the most pressing challenges and opportunities of our time. Their annual gathering, the Summit on the Global Agenda, is unlike anything else on the planet. Recognizing the great transformations facing businesses, economies and societies, this year's Summit will focus on driving change through collaboration. It'll focus on how members can drive transformational and sustainable solutions for a greener, more stable and more inclusive world. It's a gathering like no other.
