Amid rising geopolitical tensions and a deepening North-South divide, the World Economic Forum garnered 1,000 global leaders and experts from government, business, international organizations, and civil society to chart a collective course toward a more stable, sustainable, and inclusive future.
The Special Meeting on Global Collaboration, Growth and Energy for Development 2024 - held under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - brought together key leaders to exchange perspectives, consider new data, and advance high-impact partnerships. “We may end up with this decade being remembered as the Turbulent Twenties or the Tepid Twenties, and what we actually want is Transformational Twenties,” said Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund. “Over the next 100 years leaders must aim for the same degree of wealth as that created over the past 100 years, but with much better distribution of the benefits of growth”. “In a world fraught with uncertainty, the need for dialogue, understanding, and cooperation has never been more important," said Børge Brende, President of the World Economic Forum. “The Special Meeting in Saudi Arabia has served as a crucial platform for leaders to come together, confront our shared challenges, and map a path toward a more stable and prosperous future."The meeting focused on three thematic pillars: inclusive growth, global collaboration, and energy for development.
