At a time when geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty dominate headlines, the World Economic Forum (WEF) is doubling down on its message: collaboration is non-negotiable. Speaking at Davos 2025, WEF Managing Director Mirek Dusek told CGTN that the world must embrace dialogue and \"adaptable mechanisms\" to tackle shared challenges—from climate change to AI governance.
Why Dialogue Matters Now
Dusek likened today's global divisions to \"a high-stakes game of Jenga,\" where pulling one block risks collapsing the whole tower. He stressed that countries can't afford to work in silos, especially with China playing a pivotal role in driving sustainable growth and tech innovation.
China's Green and Digital Leadership
Highlighting China's investments in renewable energy and AI, Dusek praised the nation's ability to \"scale solutions at lightning speed.\" He pointed to cross-border partnerships in green tech as proof that cooperation yields results—similar to how global pop culture trends like K-dramas or TikTok dances transcend borders.
Youth: The Ultimate Connectors
Dusek also called on young leaders to champion inclusivity, saying, \"The next generation isn't just the future—they're the architects of it.\" With 60% of Gen Z engaging in global online communities daily, their digital fluency could be the key to bridging divides.
