Play Video: What Makes a True Leader & 2024’s Extreme Weather Events | WEF | Top Stories Week

This week's top stories of the week include: 0:15 What makes a true leader? – Platon is known for his portraits of the world’s most powerful people. Over the past 30 years, he has photographed presidents and celebrities, as well as dictators. But despite his time spent in the world’s corridors of power, Platon’s own idea of leadership comes from a much humbler context. A hospital in the Democratic Republic of Congo. 3:17 These cities gain wetland status – Urban wetlands perform critical jobs, from safeguarding against floods to filtering water, sequestering carbon, and enhancing biodiversity. But development and pollution can place wetlands under pressure. The Wetland Accreditation Scheme was created in 2015 to encourage cities to commit to protecting their wetlands through policy changes and conservation efforts. 4:54 2024 extreme weather status – Floods, storms and heatwaves caused extraordinary destruction and disruption, displacing hundreds of thousands of people. The World Meteorological Organization lists 151 events that were worse than ever seen before. Temperatures soared to 49.9°C in Western Australia’s outback, record rains battered Spain, sparking floods and landslides, the Philippines saw 6 typhoons in a single month. 6:34 How space affects human health – Astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore were meant to spend 8 days on the International Space Station, but a spacecraft malfunction left them in orbit for 9 months. Their time in space will have affected their bodies in many ways and medical scientists are taking note. _____________________________________________ The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.

How can we recognize potential and unlock it? Misty Copeland was the first Black woman to be promoted to principal dancer with the American Ballet Theatre. But as a child she almost quit after her first class – until an early teacher convinced her to return. Misty talks to Meet The Leader about the ways dance changed how she navigated life and how it taught her key skills such as resilience, empathy and curiosity. She shares how she uses her perspective and experience to found the Misty Copeland Foundation and develop a free afterschool program that reinvents how dance is taught to bridge diversity gaps while also teaching key leadership skills. She shares why these skills and approaches are vital to driving future change and what any leader can learn about elevating others. This interview was recorded in January 2025 at the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland.

World Economic Forum Video: Norway Leads EV Transition & Turning Textile Waste Into New Fabrics | WEF | Top Stories Week

Play Video: Norway Leads EV Transition & Turning Textile Waste Into New Fabrics | WEF | Top Stories Week

This week's top stories of the week include: 0:15 Beavers return to England’s wild – Wild beavers were hunted to extinction in England 400 years ago. But 2 beavers were spotted at Little Sea in January 2024. That paved the way for this licensed release by the National Trust, which called it ‘a watershed moment in the history of the species’. Beavers are regarded as ‘ecosystem engineers’ as they build habitats, they can restore native woodland and create new wetlands. 2:13 Indigenous Peoples are reshaping trade – In 2021, four Asia-Pacific economies initiated a deal to promote trade between different Indigenous communities, help them to trade internationally and support them in protecting their cultural heritage and traditional knowledge. It’s called the Indigenous Peoples Economic and Trade Cooperation Arrangement (IPETCA). 5:52 Norway leads the charge in EV transition – EVs made up 95% of all new cars sold in Norway in February 2025. The overall figure for 2024 was 89%, up from 82% in 2023. Norway wants 100% of new cars to be electric by the end of 2025. These latest figures suggest the country could hit its target. So how has Norway done this? 7:26 Turning textile waste into new fabrics – At present, used clothing is typically resold and reworn, not recycled. There is no large-scale process for breaking down material fibres so they can be made into new garments. Evrnu is working on a solution. It collects fabrics with a high cotton content. It sorts and shreds them, then liquefies them into pulp which can be shaped into fibres and woven or knitted into new fabrics. _____________________________________________ The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.
