- 362 - Chief Economists Outlook: what bond yields and interest rates tell us about the global economy
Why are there so many headlines right now about bond yields and interest rates? And what does it all mean for the global economy?
The latest Chief Economists Outlook, a regular pulse-check of the global economy, shows an uptick in the number of economists expecting stability rather than a downturn. We ask EY's Chief Economist Gregory Daco why that is.
And he weighs in on the issue of interest rates: "Higher commodities prices, higher oil prices ... are feeding into higher inflation and leading to expectations of central banks around the world tightening monetary policy to prevent inflation from becoming an anchored phenomenon."

Tue, 22 Sep 2026 - 40min - 361 - How cutting emissions is future-proofing industries beyond the 'green premium'
Cutting the greenhouse gas emissions from heavy industry has often been framed as a cost problem: why pay more for low-emission products when the conventional versions are cheaper?
But many companies are pushing ahead, with an eye on staying competitive, securing supply chains and preparing for future markets. This episode hears from two companies and an investor who say low-emission technologies are already making business sense.
All three are involved in the First Movers Coalition, a World Economic Forum initiative working with companies and governments to make low-emission technologies commercially viable.
Speakers:
Jennifer Holmgren, CEO of LanzaTech
Rebecca Boudreaux, President & Chief Executive Officer, Oberon Fuels
Rajesh Swaminathan, Partner, Khosla Ventures, USA
Noam Boussidan, Programme Head, First Movers Coalition

Thu, 17 Sep 2026 - 1h 00min - 360 - What I tell my Stern Business School students on how to thrive in the age of AI
For today's undergraduates, the impact of artificial intelligence on the jobs market means massive job uncertainty. So how should young people prepare themselves for the unknown unknowns of a career in the age of AI?
"The uncertainty will be overwhelming for a fraction of them, but I think for a fraction of them they will look back in 10 years and say this was a period of such great opportunity," says Arun Sundararajan, a professor of entrepreneurship, technology operations and statistics at New York University's Stern School of Business.
This episode was co-produced with China's CGTN and co-hosted by Xin Guan, CGTN anchor and chief business news editor.

Wed, 02 Sep 2026 - 25min - 358 - AI's real impact on jobs - what it means for you, your company and future generations
Artificial intelligence is already having an impact on the way most of us work - but it's still early days and it's hard to predict exactly which jobs will disappear completely, what new ones will be created, and when and where this will happen.
It's a subject that's important to all of us - so Radio Davos spoke to the head of an AI services firm, Ravi Kumar of Cognizant, and to the head of the World Economic Forum's Centre for the New Economy and Society, Saadia Zahidi. Both have unique insights into the impact of AI on the economy, on employment, and the implications for education and training.

Thu, 27 Aug 2026 - 37min - 357 - Meet the Leader: Why AI 'workslop' is a leadership problem
Workslop – low-quality work produced through poor human-AI collaboration – is wasting time, slowing teams down and limiting the productivity gains leaders expect from AI. But the problem isn't always the technology – it's often a signal to leaders that teams need more support.
Alexi Robichaux, CEO of digital learning platform BetterUp, says AI can amplify both good and bad leadership standards and leaders need to define what excellent work looks like before AI is deployed.

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 - 23min - 354 - From 'polycrisis' to 'polytunity' - the future of geopolitics with Prof Yuen Yuen Ang
"Polycrisis" was a term coined to describe the convergence of multiple global challenges: political polarisation, conflicts, and the breakdown of post-World War Two norms on issues such as trade and security.
Yuen Yuen Ang, a political science professor at Johns Hopkins University, says polycrisis was a useful way of framing the problem, but to find solutions we should consider the global "polytunity".

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 - 32min - 353 - "Not just small men" - how healthcare is failing women, and what can be done
Women spend 25% more of their lives in poor health than men and are 50% more likely to die of a heart attack than a male patient.
The statistics are staggering - but there are some relatively simple and cost-effective ways healthcare systems can improve the situation.
Lucy Perez of the McKinsey Health Institute sets out the challenges and talks us through these potential solutions.

"One of the most common refrains you used to hear 10 years ago was 'US innovates, China imitates, and Europe regulates'. Today, I don't hear that anymore."
Aparna Bharadwaj, a managing director at Boston Consulting Group, joins us to analyse what we learned about geopolitics and business relations at Summer Davos, AMNC26.
And Yang Yanqing, director of ShanghaiTech's Center for Education, Innovation and Sustainable Development, dissects how the rise of artificial intelligence has transformed education and jobs markets worldwide.
Both were in Dalian, China for the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting of the New Champions and joined us online to discuss the big lessons on geopolitics, economics and more from AMNC26.

Thu, 16 Jul 2026 - 56min - 351 - The Hormuz shock, AI and China: the state of global energy, with Jason Bordoff
Is 2026 the year it all changed for energy?
The Strait of Hormuz closure was "the largest oil supply disruption in history" but has not (yet) brought the global economy to its knees. But are we now living in a post-Hormuz world where countries and companies are seeking to diversify energy supply and ramp up renewables?
Jason Bordoff of the Center on Global Energy Policy and the Columbia Energy Exchange podcast returns to Radio Davos, at the Forum's 'Summer Davos' in China, for an update on the global energy situation.
Co-hosted by Roberto Booca, head of the Forum's Centre for Energy and Materials.

The Chinese port city of Dalian just hosted the 14th Annual Meeting of the New Champions - AMNC26 - often known as the Summer Davos.
Innovating at scale was the official theme, and we heard lots on that - but also geopolitics, not least the rivalry between China and the US. On this episode we get a flavour of the discussions and hear from the people at the World Economic Forum who are working on the big issues throughout the year.

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 - 33min - 342 - Financial fragmentation: the $6 trillion cost of breaking the "plumbing" of global finance
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

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 - 49min - 341 - Chief Economists Outlook: counting the cost of the Hormuz crisis, with Maersk's Ilaria Maselli
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.

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 - 54min - 336 - The one skill you need to succeed in your career in a turbulent world - by Adam Grant
"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.
He tells Radio Davos about his work aimed at taming the "cute baby tiger" that is likely to grow up to be a man-eating wild animal if we do nothing now.

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 - 318 - Chief Economists' Outlook January 2026: reassuring resilience and a 'good' bubble?
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.

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 - 32min - 317 - Top global risks in 2026 and how the Davos 'spirit of dialogue' can help us face them
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.

"During those 102 hours, I connected with my soul, my brain, my body, to a level that I will probably never do again. And I discovered a part of myself that I couldn't think was capable of doing what I did."
Noam Yaron swam from Corsica to just off the coast of Monaco, mainland Europe, to push himself to the limit and raise awareness about the marine environment.
Here's what he learned about human endurance and the threats to nature posed by pollution, shipping and rising temperatures.

Lyunn Kuok, Lee Kuan Yew, Chair in Southeast Asia Studies at the Brookings Institution, and a member of the Forum's Global Future Council on Geopolitics, analyses the state of the global relations almost a year into the second Donald Trump presidency.

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.

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 - 56min - 307 - "All of this is teamwork" - how 'industrial clusters' are accelerating the energy transition
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'.

Thu, 09 Oct 2025 - 1h 16min - 305 - Neurotechnology could help billions of people. Has its time come?
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'.

Thu, 11 Sep 2025 - 38min - 301 - What are 'embedded emissions' and can global trade help reduce them?
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.

Aaron Cosbey, Senior Associate, International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD)

Thu, 04 Sep 2025 - 44min - 300 - BONUS EPISODE: Ones & Tooze
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.

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 - 43min - 299 - Climate science is clearer than ever. How should companies respond?
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.

Wed, 18 Jun 2025 - 56min - 290 - Ocean: David Attenborough's new film will transform how you see Earth
"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.

Thu, 29 May 2025 - 41min - 287 - Humans rely on the ocean. Here's how both can thrive
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.

Thu, 01 May 2025 - 58min - 284 - Workplace wellbeing and WFH: what's best for business and for you?
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:

Thu, 27 Mar 2025 - 29min - 280 - 'I want my daughter to have the same opportunities as my sons - that's not unreasonable,' - Crystal Awardee David Beckham
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 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.
