How the 'Wild Wet West' was won: why the UN High Seas Treaty is big news
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.

S1 Ep 111Apps, bots and 'finfluencers': how to navigate the changing world of investing
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.

S1 Ep 110Flying without emissions: how hydrogen is greening aviation
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.

S1 Ep 109Can the word 'polycrisis' help us make sense of the post-COVID world? Historian Adam Tooze has his say
'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.

S1 Ep 100Welcome to the age of the polycrisis: the Global Risks Report 2023
The cost of living crisis around the world is the number one risk in the short-term, according to the latest Global Risks Report, but climate change remains the greatest challenge in the medium and long term. In this episode we hear from two of the people involved in creating the Global Risks Report - required reading ahead of the Annual Meeting in Davos - Carolina Klint, managing director at Marsh, and Peter Giger, Group Chief Risk Officer at Zurich Insurance Group. 'As 2023 begins, the world is facing a set of risks that feel both wholly new and eerily familiar.' So reads the executive summary of the Global Risks Report 2023, the result of a major annual survey conducted by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with Marsh McLennan and Zurich Insurance Group. 'We've seen a return of older risks inflation, cost of living crises, trade wars, capital outflows from emerging markets, widespread social unrest, geopolitical confrontation, and the spectre of nuclear warfare which few of this generation's business leaders or public policymakers have experienced.' The Global Risks Report is a fascinating read. It looks at short-term and long-term perceptions. And in the longer term, or the medium term, the threat posed by climate change is the top risk on a ten-year time horizon. But in the short term, worries about natural disasters and extreme weather fall to second place, pushed off the top spot by the cost of living crisis. You can find the report at wef.ch/grr2023. It's required reading ahead of the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting in Davos where figures from government, business, academia and civil society will come together to discuss the world's most pressing issues.

Gene therapy - how can poorer countries benefit from the most expensive drugs in the world?
Gene therapy is one of the fastest growing areas of healthcare with over 2,000 therapies in development globally. The new techniques could challenge some of the world's most feared diseases, including HIV and cancer, But the enormous cost means poorer countries could miss out, and the fact that R&D is concentrated in richer countries means the therapies developed there might not always be suitable for use in other parts of the world.

S1 Ep 90Inflation: how can we tame it?
Inflation is a major concern around the world - for economic policymakers, for companies and for all of us who are seeing prices rise faster than our incomes.We've covered the issue on several previous episodes of Radio Davos - see links below. On this episode we hear from two experts who appeared on a video show hosted by Abhinav Chugh who works in the World Economic Forum's Strategic Intelligence platform, which joins the dots between the multitude of causes and effects that impact our world.The audio you are about to hear is from the video series called Our World in Transformation that Strategic Intelligence puts out to the World Economic Forum's digital members every two weeks, and, as you'll hear, some of the questions he puts to the guests are from those members. You can sign up at the website www.weforum.org/join-us/home On this episode, Abhinav speaks to Sandra Phlippen, Chief Economist at ABN AMRO bank, and Erik Peterson, partner and managing director at the consultancy Kearney. He starts with a look at the 2 percent inflation target that many central banks try to achieve -- with inflation in the US and Europe around 8 or 9% at present, he asks Sandra Phlippen if she thinks inflation can be wrestled down to that 2% level by next year.

S1 Ep 78Financial inclusion - how increased access to banking is lifting people out of poverty
1.4 billion adults have no access to banking - that means it's harder for them to save, to borrow, to send money or to start a business - than for those of us that do.Our guest on Radio Davos is an expert on the global state of people's access to financial services, who helped create the Global Findex database, a huge survey on financial inclusion Leora Klapper, a Lead Economist in the Finance and Private Sector Research Team of the Development Research Group at the World Bank, has a truly global view of this issue.

S1 Ep 76Carbon offsets - how do they work, and who sets the rules?
Carbon offsets are when a polluting company buys a carbon credit to make up for the greenhouse gas it has emitted. The money should be used to fund action somewhere in the world that removes the same amount of carbon out of the air, or to prevent carbon emissions. Detractors say that offsetting is 'greenwash', allowing companies to avoid cutting their emissions while still being able to claim they are, or will be, carbon neutral. Proponents say offsetting, if done properly, can help channel funds to conservation and sustainable development projects that will reduce emissions, giving companies time to work towards zero emissions. On this podcast, we speak to Rachel Kyte, co-chair of the Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity Initiative which is building a rulebook that aims to ensure offsetting does what it claims to do. And we hear from Dharsono Hartono, CEO of Rimba Makmur Utama, an Indonesian company that manages the Katingan Mentaya Project, a forest in Borneo, Indonesia, that generates carbon credits.
