We’ve only just begun
It’s been an action packed start to WEF here in Davos which featured a well-received opening address from Chinese President Xi Jinping, defending the forces of globalisation on day one.
I started the morning yesterday experiencing the dubious pleasure of the Refugee Run simulation, learning what displaced people go through when they are forced from their homes – that video is now available on this blog.
I also spoke to Tunisian Prime Minister Youssef Chahed who was remarkably relaxed at the slow pace of recovering Ben Ali assets from Switzerland. More on that later.
This morning I’ll be hearing what Al Gore and an assortment of scientists have to say about the way global warming is affecting the Artic regions at the Artic Basecamp, set up at the nearby Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF.
Later in the evening, I’ll be hearing if Swiss State Secretary for International Financial Matters Jacques de Watteville believes Switzerland really could be a model for post-Brexit Britain in a discussion that looks at the changing face of Europe.
Stay tuned….
