The New Global Context

The document identifies a 'new global context' characterized by geopolitical instability, eroding trust in institutions, and rapid technological change. It positions the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting 2015 as a multistakeholder platform to address these challenges through global, economic, regional, industry, and future-oriented agendas.

• The world is entering a 'new global context' defined by several disruptive trends, including deepening geopolitical tensions, a decrease in multilateral cooperation, and the erosion of trust in both public and private sector institutions.
• The document highlights critical global challenges that require urgent management, specifically the governance of cyberspace and natural resources, as well as the negative impacts of unabated climate change, income inequality, and youth unemployment.
• The Annual Meeting 2015 is designed as a multistakeholder venue to address five specific agendas: the Global Agenda (improving global governance), the Economic Agenda (sustainable and inclusive growth), the Regional Agenda (social and political transformations), the Industry and Business Agenda (evolution of business models), and the Future Agenda (innovations and discoveries).
• The World Economic Forum will introduce 'Transformation Maps' to frame regional, industry, and global issues, which are intended to be reviewed by 1,000 experts at the Summit on the Global Agenda in Dubai in November.
