	After 2025's 'seismic' shock, what's next for development and aid	07 Nov 2025	00:39:43
Governments in the global North have slashed aid budgets at a time when humanitarian needs have reached record levels, forcing a rethink on global aid and development. In this podcast, co-hosted by humanitarian news agency Devex, we look at where things may go from here and what new models of cooperation might offer hope.

	BONUS EPISODE: Ones & Tooze	01 Sep 2025	00:43:50
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.

	How COVID and cost of living hit progress on equality: the Global Gender Gap Report 2023	22 Jun 2023	00:34:54
In most parts of the world, the gender gap - the difference in opportunities and outcomes for women compared to men - is closing. But closing so slowly that it would take, at the current rate of progress, until 2154 for men and women to be truly equal. That statistic comes from the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report, an extensive, annual survey whose latest edition has just been published. In this episode, World Economic Forum Managing Director Saadia Zahidi picks some highlights from the report - which has lots to say about the state of gender inequality in the post-pandemic, cost-of-living squeezed world. We also hear from Sue Duke, Vice-President of LinkedIn where she heads public policy. Sue talks about the challenges facing women in the workplace, particularly in the area of STEM - science, technology, engineering and maths - and how tricky is still is for women to get to the top of companies (the 'C-suite'). For a transcript, go to the episode page: https://www.weforum.org/podcasts/radio-davos/episodes/gender-gap-report-2023 Please note the final episode of our AI series will be published next week.

Wondering what job you'll be doing in five years' time? Chances are it may be quite different from what you do now, and you'll need different skills.

"Arguably the most common devastating disease that most people have never heard of. It affects at least one in nine women. It is the cause of up to 50% of infertility cases in women." Endometriosis is the subject of director Shannon Cohn's documentary Below the Belt. She tells how women have been overlooked, disbelieved and gaslit by medical practitioners and policymakers - and why that has to stop.

COVID transformed the world of work, but AI's impact will be much bigger. "It's the first time in the history of humanity that we have to rethink what it means to be human. It's no longer, 'I think, therefore I am'. Most of our thinking can be outsourced to machines." Artificial intelligence is about to transform the world of work, says Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, Chief Innovation Officer at ManpowerGroup and the author of 'I, Human: AI, Automation, and the Quest to Reclaim What Makes Us Unique'. He looks at the huge changes COVID and home-working have already wrought, and how we can cope with the even bigger AI revolution.

	The energy transition moonshot: innovations that will transform our world	31 Mar 2023	00:40:45
It often looks like we are doing too little too late to wean ourselves off fossil fuels, but companies around the world are creating new ways of generating and delivering energy. We hear from four CEOs about their work on aviation fuel, electric vehicles, green hydrogen and new nuclear. And World Economic Forum John Defterios, who covered energy for three decades as a journalist at CNN, shares his thoughts.

	How the 'Wild Wet West' was won: why the UN High Seas Treaty is big news	08 Mar 2023	00:24:49
Up to now, the vast majority of the world's ocean was not governed by a global treaty that would protect this vital part of the planet from pollution or over-exploitation - meaning the high seas were something of a Wild West. But that is all changing. After years of negotiations, member states of the United Nations have agreed the High Seas Treaty, ensuring the protection and sustainable use of marine biodiversity of areas beyond national jurisdictions. Almost two-thirds of the planet's surface is ocean and the seas make up 95% of the Earth's total habitat by volume. But, only 1% of the high seas has, up until now, been under any protection protocol and just 39% of the ocean falls under the national jurisdiction of individual countries. Kristian Teleki, Director of Ocean Action Agenda and Friends of Ocean Action at the World Economic Forum tells us what is in the treaty and why it's such a big deal for the planet.

	Apps, bots and 'finfluencers': how to navigate the changing world of investing	28 Feb 2023	00:22:45
If you're lucky enough to have some spare cash to invest, how do you decide where to put it? In the past few years the answer to that question may have changed. The rise of robo-advisers - algorithms that can guide you - and of 'finfluencers' - social media influencers keen to impart their wisdom - have transformed the way many people manage their money. To find out more about the big changes happening in financial markets and the way individuals approach them, we talk to Steph Guild, CFA and Head of Investment Strategy at Robinhood Financial, and to Laura Astorino, a Managing Director at Accenture.

	Flying without emissions: how hydrogen is greening aviation	24 Feb 2023	00:18:34
A 20-seater plane powered by a zero-emissions hydrogen fuel cell engine just made its first test flight. We talk to the company behind it, that believes all planes can be made zero-emissions. In a recent test flight, ZeroAvia, an engine builder, made history by flying a 20-seater aircraft completely powered by green hydrogen, a zero-emissions fuel. The breakthrough test, which is the largest aircraft to ever be flown using hydrogen power, is a promising step towards a zero-emissions future for the aviation industry. In this episode of Radio Davos, Val Miftakhov, the CEO of ZeroAvia, talks about the company's mission to develop zero-emission planes, the potential for commercial airlines to adopt this technology, and the role of customer demand and government regulation in achieving a more sustainable aviation industry. The episode also explores the challenges and opportunities in transitioning to zero-emission aviation.

	Can the word 'polycrisis' help us make sense of the post-COVID world? Historian Adam Tooze has his say	15 Feb 2023	00:39:48
'Polycrisis', a relatively new term, was in the air at the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting in January, where people were discussing the intertwined global issues of war, economic uncertainty, inflation, recession and the climate crisis, among others. But does that word really tell us anything new about the world we live in and the challenges we face? Historian Adam Tooze tells us about the origins of the term and of the polycrisis itself. Adam Tooze is Professor of History at the University of Columbia in New York. He is also host of Foreign Policy's weekly economics podcast Ones and Tooze, and the author of books including Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World and, most recently, Shutdown: How Covid Shook the World's Economy.
