While the richest in the world continue to become even richer, according to Oxfam, nearly 2,500 policy makers and especially economic will to Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum. It opens on Wednesday and is being held until Saturday.
"After focused on the impact of the global financial crisis, this time Davos aims to address new challenges that have emerged, says our reporter Sarah Chappell. Among the items on the agenda, the increasing risk of international conflict and its possible effects on the world economy. "
Lee Howell, part of the Board of the World Economic Forum, laments that "nobody really take responsibility to advance a solution for any of these conflicts. There are many negative points and we see no positives. And that is what has changed significantly. It is (a change) with which we will have to live 25 years after the end of the Cold War: the fact that this world is multipolar, complex, and there is really no outcome that is evident " .
Each year, Davos is transformed into a fortress. Safety is, this time further strengthened, two weeks after the attack against Charlie Hebdo in Paris. No fewer than 3000 soldiers were among others mobilized.
