The global economy is fragmenting, and it could lead to a hit of $6 trillion to GDP worldwide. That's more than the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic or the 2008 financial crisis.

So what exactly is causing this fragmentation, and can the impacts be mitigated?

Finance industry experts join us to explore the forces of fragmentation and examine a new report by the World Economic Forum and Oliver Wyman, which quantifies its impact and details the consequences on the global economy and emerging markets in particular.

Guests:

Matt Strahan, Private Market Initiatives Lead at the World Economic Forum

Daniel Tannebaum, Global Anti-Financial Crime Practice Leader at Oliver Wyman

Anne Walsh, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer of Guggenheim Partners

Daniel Mminele, Chairman of Nedbank

As the World Economic Forum publishes its latest Chief Economists Outlook, Maersk's Head of Macro & Market Insights Ilaria Maselli gives her view on the state of the global economy.

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, "the aorta of global fossil fuel trade", is one of the "biggest crises" in the history of capitalism, with huge implications for economies around the world, Maselli says.

And we discuss how the impact of the Hormuz crisis compares to the shock that the COVID pandemic imposed on the world, in terms of economic growth and inflation.

Katharine Hayhoe is a climate scientist and an evangelical Christian who lives in Texas and knows how to reach out to conservatives who might see climate change as a party political rather than a science-based issue.

Two years after she last spoke to Radio Davos, Prof Hayhoe assesses the rise of climate denialism, particularly on social media, but also the rising awareness of the issue caused by increasingly frequent extreme weather events around the world.

"We don't live in a stable world anymore. We live in a rapidly changing, turbulent world. And in a dynamic environment, intelligence is not just your ability to think and learn, it's your capacity to rethink and unlearn."

Adam Grant, organizational psychologist, podcaster, and author of the bestseller "Think Again", tells us why we are wrong in many of our assumptions about today's world, and why we would all benefit from tackling our own biases - not least the "I'm-not-biased" bias.

And he explains why the wrong sorts of people too often get promoted or elected to positions of power.

Adam spoke to Radio Davos at the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting 2026 in Davos, Switzerland.

If AIs can think for themselves, what is to stop them doing bad - perhaps really bad - things?

Yoshua Bengio, one of a handful of people considered a "godfather of AI", says AIs are already displaying bad behaviours, including hacking computers and blackmailing humans.

Artificial intelligence is set to have huge impacts on economies and our lives, but exactly how it will change the world will depend on much more than just the tech.

Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is that point in the future when the machines can do pretty much everything better than humans. When will it happen, what will it look like, and what will be the impact on humanity?

Two of the brightest minds working in AI today, Demis Hassabis, Co-Founder and CEO of Google DeepMind, and Dario Amodei, Co-Founder and CEO of Anthropic, speak to Zanny Minton Beddoes, Editor-in-Chief of The Economist.

Benjamin Larsen, an expert in AI at the World Economic Forum, introduces the conversation and gives us a primer on AGI.

You can watch the conversation from the Annual Meeting 2026 in Davos here: https://www.weforum.org/meetings/world-economic-forum-annual-meeting-2026/sessions/the-day-after-agi/

"Don't be fooled. Everything has changed for the global economy."

Tariffs, geopolitics and AI are all impacting our economies in ways we might not yet be feeling, says Harvard economist Gita Gopinath.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting 2026 in Davos, the former IMF chief economist tells Radio Davos why "the world is in a very different place".

The latest Chief Economists' Outlook is a revealing pulse-check of the global economy based on a survey of leading chief economists from a variety of organizations.

Christian Keller, Head of Economics Research at Barclays Investment Bank, joins to flesh out the key parts of the latest outlook – and helps us understand why tariffs haven't proven to be quite the disaster economists feared (yet), and why people are saying that even if this is an AI bubble, it might in some ways be a good one.

The Global Risks Report, the World Economic Forum's annual snapshot of the biggest risks facing the world in the near, medium and long terms, shows geopolitical and economic risks on the rise in the new 'age of competition'.

The report is published just days before the Forum's Annual Meeting and is a good indicator of what the 3,000 leaders convening in Davos, Switzerland will be talking about.

Gayle Markovitz is joined by a co-host, Forum Managing Director Saadia Zahidi, and two expert guests, Peter Giger, Group Chief Risk Officer at Zurich Insurance, and Andrew George, Global President of Specialties at Marsh.

The Global Risks Report, available here, was compiled by Mark Elsner and Grace Atkinson of the Forum's Global Risks Initiative.

Catch up on all the action from the Annual Meeting at wef.ch/wef26 and across social media using the hashtag #WEF26. And follow Radio Davos wherever you get podcasts to get our daily morning shows every day of the Davos week, starting Monday, 19 January.

We all rely on nature to survive - but humans continue to destroy and degrade the environment to an extent that puts our own species at risk

Nature conservationist Marco Lambertini puts the case for going 'nature positive' - getting companies and countries to account for their impact on nature and find ways to conserve and restore more than they destroy.

The transition to net-zero is a daunting challenge for any industry - but what if diverse sectors can help each other speed up progress? That's what can happen in an 'industrial cluster'.

In the episode we hear from two such clusters - the Port of Antwerp-Bruges in Belgium and the Andalusia Green Hydrogen Valley in Spain - just two of the more than 35 industrial clusters around the world, supported by the World Economic Forum's Transitioning Industrial Clusters (TIC) initiative, to drive economic growth, employment and cut greenhouse gas emissions.

And we speak to the head of the Mission Possible Partnership - an organisation that works to advance the energy transition in industry which also puts a strong emphasis on industry clusters or 'clean industrial hubs'.

Electronic devices that tap into a human's nervous system have been around for decades, for example to help paralysed people move and deaf people hear. Now, a new generation of neurotechnology promises to revolutionise treatments for a range of conditions that afflict billions of people.

We look at the benefits and assess the risks with Jen French, a campaigner for access to neurotechnlolgy who has been using a device for 25 years since a snowboarding accident made her quadriplegic. And Tom Oxley, the CEO of neurotech startup Synchron, explains how 'brain computer interfaces' are giving paralysed patients the ability to use computers and smart phones.

They also address concerns about things such as data privacy, unequal access to health tech, and device 'abandonment'.

The European Union is implementing a 'Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism' (CBAM) that will levy a fee on importing certain goods that are produced in countries that lack regulations forcing producers to cut their greenhouse gas emissions.

It's an idea that other countries are considering, but is also hugely complex and may be challenged by exporter countries. Two expert guests explain the policy and its implications for business and global trade.

Welcome to this bonus episode of Radio Davos.

A few episodes ago we interviewed author and historian Adam Tooze about geopolitics. Adam has his own podcast, Ones & Tooze, published by Foreign Policy where he is also a columnist. We thought we would pop an episode on the Radio Davos feed so you can take a listen. In this episode, Adam and his co-host Foreign Policy deputy editor Cameron Abadi, look at the state of global development.

Radio Davos will be back very soon, in the meantime enjoy this episode of Ones and Tooze.

Ones and Tooze show notes:

Whither Global Development

Some 10 years ago, the United Nations came up with its Sustainable Development Goals, a series of objectives for the world around alleviating poverty and protecting the planet. But these days, it's clear that very few of those goals will be met by the target date of 2030. What happened? And what does the Trump administration's retreat from international development mean for the world?

On this episode of Ones and Tooze, a weekly economics podcast from Foreign Policy magazine, hosts Adam Tooze and Cameron Abadi dig in.

New episodes of Ones and Tooze are released every Friday. Follow the show on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

The politics might change, but the science is clearer than ever. The planet is warming - and even faster than predicted - due to the emission of greenhouse gases. Faced with the facts, where do businesses, policymakers, and the rest of us go from here?

We get the latest in climate science from Johan Rockström, director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, and hear from Sumant Sinha, the head of India-based renewable energy company ReNew, on the outlook for business.

The episode is co-hosted by Pim Valdre, head of the World Economic Forum's Climate Ambition Initiative and leader of the Alliance of CEO Climate Leaders.

"Once you've truly seen the sea, you'll never look at Earth the same way again."

David Attenborough has spent nearly a century on Earth, bringing the mysteries of nature to viewers around the world. In his latest film, Ocean, he shows how humans still have so much to learn about life below the waves and its vital contribution to life on land.

One of the film's directors, the naturalist Colin Butfield, tells Radio Davos about some of the revelations in the movie and the accompanying book that he co-wrote with Attenborough.

Humans rely on the ocean, not just for food, but for industries such as shipping, telecommunications, and renewable energy - as well as its vital role in absorbing carbon and regulating the climate. Is there a way to make our interactions with the ocean beneficial to the ecosystems?

Alfredo Giron, head of Friends of Ocean Action, believes 'Marine Prosperity Areas' could do just that.

Are you happy at work? And if so, do you think that helps you do the job better? Jan-Emmanuel de Neve, Professor of Economics and Behavioural Science at the University of Oxford's Saïd Business School thinks so - and says he has the real-world evidence - from companies and millions of employees to prove it.

He also says there is evidence that companies with a happy workforce will perform better for shareholders.

And he answers the question - does that mean working from home is best, or should we all go back to the office? Links:

David Beckham shot to fame in the 1990s playing football for Manchester United and England and boosted the game's profile in the USA playing for LA Galaxy. Off the pitch he was at the centre of Cool Britiannia-era glamour, marrying Posh Spice pop star-turned-fashion designer Victoria.

He's a global brand, and he has used that fame and influence, among other things, as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations children's fund, UNICEF, where his 7 Fund - named after the number he wore on the pitch - works in schools around the world to combat bullying, violence, child marriage and missed education.

Beckham, who turns 50 this year, was at the Forum's Annual Meeting in Davos to receive a Crystal Award, which the Forum bestows on people in arts and entertainment who have gone beyond the day job to help improve the state of the world.

At a time when overseas development is under pressure like never before, and with a rise in online misogyny, we spoke to David Beckham about his work with UNICEF and his role as a father.

What happened at the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting 2025, where the world met to discuss 'Collaboration for the Intelligent Age'?

On Day 1, Donald Trump was inaugurated for his second term as US president, and announced he was withdrawing from the Paris climate deal, as well as the World Health Organisation, and vowed to use trade tariffs to re-shore jobs. On Day 4 he addressed the meeting in a link-up from Washington.

We hear some of that and talk to the people who lead the Forum's work throughout the year, reflect on the impact of the meeting, held at a pivotal moment for world affairs.

What are the global challenges that world leaders will be addressing in Davos?

Many of them are contained in the World Economic Forum's Global Risks Report, a survey of almost 1,000 decision makers and leaders around the world that shows what they consider to be the biggest risks facing humanity in the coming year and in the medium and long terms.

The 20th edition of this annual report reveals an increasingly fractured global landscape, where escalating geopolitical, environmental, societal and technological challenges threaten stability and progress.

Two experts join us to discuss the risks facing humanity in the short, medium and long term: Ngaire Woods, dean of the Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford, and Azeem Azhar, chief executive officer of Exponential View.

Hosted by World Economic Forum podcaster Robin Pomeroy, with co-host Mark Elsner, Head of Global Risks Initiative at the Forum.

Artificial intelligence has the potential to massively improve human health: from developing new drugs to providing more accurate diagnoses and helping people who live with severe disabilities.

But AI also has the potential, if used wrongly or governed badly, to make life worse for people dealing with health problems.

Theatre director Jude Kelly founded the Women of the World (WOW) Festival almost two decades ago to spur conversations about women, men and feminism.

WOW is now a global phenomenon, but does the rise of online misogyny pose a threat to progress on gender equality.

Jude Kelly, who spoke to Radio Davos on World Women's Day 2024, says why it is vital to include men in the conversations about an issue that affects us all.

For half a century, Nile Rodgers has been making hit records that have touched people's hearts around the world. The creative force behind disco pioneers Chic, and some of the best known songs of David Bowie, Madonna and Beyoncé, tells us the definition of an artist: someone whose work "speaks to the souls of a million strangers".

But what if generative AI can make music that's just as good? Is AI a threat or a blessing to art and human expression?

We also hear from the head of the Hollywood actors' union on why moviemakers went on strike over the threat posed by AI. And from Refik Anadol, a leading light in AI-generated art.

This episode was first published on 4 April, 2024. Radio Davos will resume new weekly podcasts from September 2024.

Going green - in energy, agriculture, industry and elsewhere - will have costs and benefits, so how can we ensure the poorest don't pay the price or miss out on the opportunities?

A new report from the World Economic Forum has defined six 'archetype' countries and looks at the differing challenges across the globe, and what policymakers need to know to achieve an 'equitable transition'.

As populists are on the rise in many countries, how should the moderates respond? We hear from Yair Zivan, the author of a new book called "The Centre Must Hold", who argues that centrism is more than just the mid-point between two extremes, and can be a radical force for good.

Climate change is an extremely serious issue, but can comedy help us cope with - and communicate about - it?

We hear from the University of Colorado, Boulder where students can take a course in 'climate comedy' that ends in them performing on stage in a comedy club.

And we unpack the power of cartoons from the World Economic Forum's climate 'cartoonathon'.

What's the health condition that affects us all, but is often seen as an add-on for healthcare - and how much is this neglect costing the economy?

Oral diseases affect half the world's population and, according to a new report, have knock-on costs to the economy worth $710 billion every year.

Marko Vujicic of the American Dental Association joins us to discuss 'The Economic Rationale for a Global Commitment to Invest in Oral Health'.

The Global Gender Gap Index annually benchmarks the current state and evolution of gender parity across four key dimensions (Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment). It is the longest-standing index tracking the progress of numerous countries' efforts towards closing these gaps over time since its inception in 2006.

Forum Managing Director Saadia Zahidi talks us through the main finding of the Global Gender Gap Report 2024 and how she sees the progress and challenges in closing the gender gap worldwide.

Climate 'tipping points' are the dangerous phenomena that could suddenly make climate change even worse than it is already: melting ice sheets that could change ocean currents, thawing permafrost that releases vast amounts of methane, or rainforests turning into dry savannah - events that could completely destabilise the global environment and would be hard or impossible to reverse.

But, according to a growing number of climate scientists, there is also the prospect of 'positive tipping points'. Things that can happen to speed up the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in ways that humanity has so far failed to achieve.

One of those is Tim Lenton, Professor of Climate Change and Earth System Science at the University of Exeter. As you will hear in the interview, other climate experts use terms such as 'social tipping points' or 'sensitive intervention points' - Professor Lenton says these are similar concepts that altogether should dispel the notion that we are doomed by climate change.

Artificial intelligence has the potential to massively improve human health: from developing new drugs to providing more accurate diagnoses and helping people who live with severe disabilities.

But AI also has the potential, if used wrongly or governed badly, to make life worse for people dealing with health problems.

With the pandemic well behind us, international travel has bounced back. The World Economic Forum's Travel and Tourism Development Index, a major survey of the state of the sector, gives a clear picture of how things look around the world. Maksim Soshkim, who leads much of the Forum's work on the issue tells us the headlines, and Jacqueline Gifford, Editor-in-Chief of Travel + Leisure magazine, gives her take on the state of the travel scene.

One of the key areas the TTDI looks at is sustainability - the impact of travel and tourism on the environment and local communities. And in this episode we hear from two people engaged in making tourism more sustainable: a hotel company taking action across its supply chain, and the head of tourism for Rwanda, where income from foreign visitors helps conserve a unique ecosystem and its endangered mountain gorillas.

The Netflix documentary 'The Tinder Swindler' is a mind-boggling case of so-called 'romance fraud' in which a charming, handsome - and apparently very rich - man meets women on a dating app - gets them to fall in love with him - and then cons them out of lots of money.

Cecilie Fjellhøy is the Norwegian woman at the centre of the documentary whose life was torn apart by the actions of a conman. A survivor of romance fraud on a grand scale, she now advocates for the rights of, and support for, others who find themselves in similar grim circumstances.

We also hear from Sean Doyle, who works at the World Economic Forum's Centre for Cybersecurity, on just how widespread romance fraud really is, why it's a multinational, multi-billion form of cyber crime, and what is being done to combat it.

'Spatial computing', 'blended reality', 'the metaverse'. For those of us who still use screens and keyboards to access the digital world, those phrases might not mean very much. But many experts believe the '2D' internet will soon be a thing of the past, and we will all be, one way or another, in a 3D metaverse.

With Apple's Vision Pro headset renewing interest in virtual reality, we speak to two proponents of the metaverse who see both huge opportunities and significant risks.

Mining is an industry that many of us probably rarely think about, but one that provides the raw materials for so many of the things we use, not least the modern technologies such as smart phones and electric vehicles that require certain minerals that are not always in abundant supply.

The International Energy Agency predicts that the demand for minerals will double by 2040. So how can we meet that demand in the most energy efficient and sustainable way?

UpLink, the open innovation platform of the World Economic Forum, is inviting entrepreneurs who have answers to that question to take part in its Sustainable Mining Challenge - a competition that aims to pick the most promising startups in the field.

On this episode we speak to Vivek Salgaocar, the founder of Prospect Innovation, which is the leading funder and business partner of the Sustainable Mining Challenge, and to Megan O'Connor, CEO and Co-founder of Nth Cycle, a company which is innovating in ways to better recycle mining waste.

This podcast is published around the World Economic Forum's Special Meeting on Global Collaboration, Growth and Energy for Development. Find more information at wef.ch/specialmeeting24 and across social media using the hashtag #specialmeeting24.
