Forecasts of AI's impact on productivity vary widely, from those projecting a 15% boost in labour output across advanced economies to warnings that as many as 92 million jobs could vanish globally by 2030.

Generative AI will transform work as we know it, but will that transformation lead to shared prosperity or widening exclusion? How can we prevent productivity gains from masking a much bleaker economic picture.

An unpredictable operating environment is weighting on global growth and traditional engines such as trade are expected to expand by just 0.9% in 2025. With debt-to-GDP reaching a record 95%, there is increasingly limited space for leaders to make drastic policy and operational changes. At the same time, AI is emerging as a key driver of growth in some economies, improving productivity, enabling new business models and accelerating innovation across industries. What will be the new sources of growth and how can we ensure that the benefits are shared broadly?

Global cooperation is proving resilient even as multilateralism continues to face strong headwinds, according to the World Economic Forum's Global Cooperation Barometer 2026. However, cooperation is below where it needs to be to address critical economic, security and environmental challenges. Within a more complex and uncertain geopolitical context, open and constructive dialogue is a critical factor in identifying potential collaborative pathways that advance shared interests.

In its third year, the Global Cooperation Barometer 2026, developed in collaboration with McKinsey & Company, uses 41 metrics to assess the level of cooperation worldwide across five pillars: trade and capital; innovation and technology; climate and natural capital; health and wellness; and peace and security.

This is the full audio from a media briefing presenting the report, with Sheba Crocker, World Economic Forum Managing Director, Børge Brende, the Forum's President and CEO, and Bob Sternfels, Global Managing Partner at McKinsey & Company.

How long will it take to achieve global gender parity? At the current pace: 123 years.

In this episode of The Briefing Room, leaders from the World Economic Forum, LinkedIn and the World Bank come together to explore the findings from the Global Gender Gap Report 2025 — the definitive benchmark tracking gender equality across 148 economies.

The conversation examines this year's parity score and why, despite some progress, the world remains generations away from full gender equality. It explores the persistent gaps in women's political and economic participation, the role of smart policy over national wealth in driving change, and the growing economic imperative to accelerate progress. The panel also reflects on what countries can learn from one another and how gender parity is becoming central to long-term growth and resilience.

Host: Stephanie Holmes, Head of Public Engagement at World Economic Forum Guests: Saadia Zahidi, Managing Director at the World Economic Forum

Sue Duke, Head of Global Public Policy at LinkedIn

Norman Loayza, Director of the Global Indicators Group at the World Bank

Clean air is essential for our health, yet millions of people around the world are affected by air pollution each year, leading to premature deaths and severe health issues. Vulnerable groups, such as children, the elderly, and those with chronic diseases, are especially at risk. A lack of transparency in data, insufficient political will, and limited funding are often barriers to progress.

Improving air quality is a win for both public health and climate change mitigation. Cities can address multiple challenges by focusing on clean air initiatives, and significant advances have been made over the past decade in monitoring technology, public awareness, and solutions like electric vehicles, clean energy, and air quality policies. Now more than ever, it's crucial for cities, governments, businesses, and citizens to join forces and expand these efforts.

The prospects for global growth have been steadily improving this year, with the IMF projecting 3.2% growth in 2024 and 41% of chief economists having upgraded their forecasts in recent months. However, the pace of expansion expected this decade is tepid by historical standards and geo-economic fragmentation is creating divergences between regions.

What and where will the main drivers of growth derive from in the coming years?

China's growth engines seem to be slowing due to a range of factors, including an ageing population, a slowdown in productivity, and major challenges facing the private sector.

Rather than seeking a quick boost, how can a focus on high-quality development strengthen its economic fundamentals, recharge growth and enable it to avoid the middle-income trap in the long term?
