- 243 - It's cheaper to save the world than destroy it: author Akshat Rathi on Climate Capitalism
“Climate Capitalism is an antidote to the dominant narrative that because we’ve ignored the climate crisis for so long, it will soon be too late. While it’s true that we’ve not done enough yet, we’re nowhere close to being too late.”
So says Akshat Rathi, Bloomberg’s senior climate reporter and host of the podcast Zero, in his new book Climate Capitalism, which looks at ways business and industry and finance can make, and in some cases are making, real progress on climate change.

Tue, 09 Apr 2024 - 26min - 242 - AI vs Art: Will AI rip the soul out of music, movies and art, or help express our humanity?
For half a century, Nile Rodgers has been making hit records that have touched people's hearts around the world. The creative force behind disco pioneers Chic, and some of the best known songs of David Bowie, Madonna and Beyoncé, tells us the definition of an artist: someone whose work "speaks to the souls of a million strangers".
But what if generative AI can make music that's just as good? Is AI a threat or a blessing to art and human expression?
We also hear from the head of the Hollywood actors' union on why moviemakers went on strike over the threat posed by AI. And from Refik Anadol, a leading light in AI-generated art.

Thu, 04 Apr 2024 - 40min - 241 - In the age of the 'manosphere', what's the future for feminism? With Jude Kelly of the WOW Festival
Theatre director Jude Kelly founded the Women of the World (WOW) Festival almost two decades ago to spur conversations about women, men and feminism.
WOW is now a global phenomenon, but does the rise of online misogyny pose a threat to progress on gender equality.
Jude Kelly, who spoke to Radio Davos on World Women's Day 2024, says why it is vital to include men in the conversations about an issue that affects us all.

Thu, 28 Mar 2024 - 36min - 240 - Geopolitics, the equitable transition, and AI: things to look out for in energy in 2024
A year ago in Davos, energy - particularly the disruption to supply and prices caused by the war in Ukraine - was a top issue at the Forum's Annual Meeting and on Radio Davos we invited two experts in to set out the top lines of the energy discussion.
Roberto Bocca, who heads up energy at the World Economic Forum, and John Defterios, a business professor and former CNN journalist, return this year, as war is an even bigger issue. They also discuss the 'energy transition', especially how that might look in the global South, and they address what was the top issue at this year's Davos: artificial intelligence - which many people believe could play a central role in the energy transition, but which is also itself creating a surge in demand for energy to power all the compute needed to create AI.

Cathy Li, head of AI at the Forum tells us about the work of the AI Governance Alliance, which has brought stakeholders together to seek the best way for humans to oversee the rapid rise of the technology.
And we hear from a handful of the stakeholders who attended the AI Governance Summit in November:

If you’re a ‘digital native’ - someone who can’t remember a world before the internet - you might feel you have a good idea of the role technology will play in your life and perhaps in that of future generations.
But journalism professor Jeff Jarvis, author of a history of another transformative technology from more than five centuries ago - the printing press - says we can have no way yet of knowing where the internet, and AI, will take us.
The book is called The Gutenberg Parenthesis. Jeff spoke to us at the World Economic Forum's AI Governance Summit.

Thu, 30 Nov 2023 - 36min - 226 - 'Reality kicks in': What just happened at talks to create a 'Paris deal for plastics'?
Plastics pollution is a very visible, global environmental and health challenge, and last year the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) launched a process to draft a global treaty aimed at solving the problem.
Earlier this week, delegations from all over the world met in Nairobi to work on the first full draft of a treaty that could set binding rules that would affect the production, use and disposal of plastics.
To get a readout of what happened there, and what might happen next, we hear from Kwame Asamoa Mensa-Yawson, head of the Ghana National Plastic Action Partnership, a multistakeholder group looking at solutions to the plastics issue, under the auspices of the World Economic Forum.

Fri, 24 Nov 2023 - 32min - 225 - "Not just sticks of carbon" - how growing trees for the climate must also benefit biodiversity
When Professor Tom Crowther published research into the massive potential of trees to absorb more carbon than previously thought, he helped spur the Trillion Trees movement to plant, restore and conserve forests. But it also caused massive debate.
As he publishes updated research, Crowther tells Radio Davos that growing trees must increase biodiversity, and not lead to monoculture plantations, and that it must never be an excuse to slow the drive to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions.

Sat, 11 Nov 2023 - 25min - 224 - Quality over quantity: why the time has come for 'value based health care'
The concept of 'value based health care' - where patient outcomes are monitored and health care services are funded on the basis of the quality of care, rather than the quantity of procedures - has been around for a couple of decades, but has yet to become the norm.
This podcast explores the potential benefits of a shift from 'volume' to 'value', to patients and to health care providers.
Guests:Catherine MacLean, Chief Value Medical Officer at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.

Thu, 21 Sep 2023 - 45min - 220 - SDIM23 - Bridging the Gap: Financing Africa's Agricultural Growth
Small and medium agricultural enterprises (agri-SMEs) are Africa’s largest employer and economic engine—and the key to transforming food systems and improving food security for the continent. Yet three out of four agri-SMEs can’t access formal bank financing, and are too large for microfinance, creating an estimated $100 billion gap in unmet demand for financing.
How can donor governments, development finance institutions, African governments, and the private sector catalyze action to strengthen food value chains in Africa through innovative financing, and better support small and medium agricultural enterprises?
The event is co-hosted with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
This special Leadership Panel on strengthening food value chains was held September 18, 2023 at the World Economic Forum's New York headquarters.

Tue, 10 Oct 2023 - 43min - 186 - How to talk to a climate change sceptic
What is the single most important thing that any individual can do to help alleviate the climate crisis?
Katharine Hayhoe is the chief scientist for The Nature Conservancy, a distinguished professor at Texas Tech University and the author of Saving Us: A Climate Scientist's Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World.
She believes that only if we all talk about climate change will humanity take the right paths to tackle climate change.
But what if the person you are talking to doesn’t believe in climate change? Or what if they do, but they are so depressed or anxious they feel helpless?
Katharine has practical advice.

At the start of this year, the World Economic Forum published its annual Global Risks Report - a major survey of sentiment about what are the big things that could go wrong - in the economy, the environment, in health, cybersecurity, geopolitics - and more.
In this podcast, we invite back the two guests who appeared on Radio Davos in January to talk about the report and its conclusion that the world faced a 'polycrisis' - a combination of risks from many sources.
Carolina Klint, Managing Director at Marsh, and Peter Giger, Group Chief Risk Officer at Zurich Insurance Group, discuss how the 'risk landscape' has changed in the few months since then.

Wed, 28 Jun 2023 - 25min - 176 - How COVID and cost of living hit progress on equality: the Global Gender Gap Report 2023
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

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.

Wed, 05 Apr 2023 - 26min - 166 - COVID transformed the world of work, but AI’s impact will be much bigger.
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.

Mon, 03 Apr 2023 - 28min - 165 - The energy transition moonshot: innovations that will transform our world
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.
Guests:
Michael Farkas, Founder, Executive Chairman & CEO at Blink Charging
Theye Veen, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer at SkyNRG
Jason Few, President & CEO at Fuel Cell Energy
Stefano Buono, founder and CEO, newcleo
The interviews were recorded at the inaugural meeting of Advanced Energy Solutions, the World Economic Forum community that aims to speed up deployment of advanced energy solutions from years to months while eradicating the green premium. It engages leaders in frontier, fast-growing segments of the energy system such as clean fuels, hydrogen, storage, new nuclear, carbon and demand management.
