Mental Health takes centre stage at the United Nations #UNGA80

Source: United Nations (video statements)

For the first time ever, mental health care is the focus of an official meeting of the General Assembly. On 25 September 2025, with world leaders gathering at the UN High-level week, health experts and Member States met to agree on a set of principles designed to drive global action to help alleviate the symptoms of those living with a complex variety of disorders.

Although the subject of mental health has been raised in previous years, it will get top billing at the event, which will also cover the prevention and control of other noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), such as cardiovascular illnesses, cancer, diabetes and chronic respiratory diseases.

NCDs remain the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. They are closely connected: for many people, physical and mental conditions overlap, demanding integrated approaches to care.

Chief Economists look ahead to 2026 & Gen Z skill-building with AI | WEF | Top Stories of the Week

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

0:14 – What do chief economists expect in 2026? Weak growth and a disrupted new economic reality: In a world shaken by trade disputes, geopolitical fragmentation and the rise of AI, what’s the outlook for the global economy? The answer is mixed, as Philipp Grosskurth, Insight Lead at the World Economic Forum explains.

3:38 – This factory is using AI to help new mothers in the workplace: As the #manufacturing sector faces unprecedented challenges, the need for innovative talent strategies has never been more critical. The World Economic Forum co-created the Frontline Talent of the Future initiative, which aims to identify and share talent innovations helping manufacturing companies such as Haier in China dramatically improve their productivity and stability.

7:13 – 3 in 4 Gen Z-ers use AI to learn new skills: As the first true digital natives, Gen Z are embracing AI in the workplace more than any other generation. They use it to learn new skills, to find new jobs, and to help solve problems at work. But despite this enthusiasm, nearly half of all young adults feel anxious about the impact of AI on their careers – and falling numbers of entry-level jobs suggest their worries are not unfounded, as a new report from Randstad shows.

8:50 – In Delhi, climate change is causing informal workers to lose work.This insurance scheme pays them: Millions of informal workers in #Delhi are forced to down tools when the city’s heat or fumes swell to unbearable levels. Without sick pay or formalised contracts, they have no choice but to go without wages, making it more difficult to meet their family’s basic needs. But a new insurance pilot is paying out whenever temperatures or pollution reach unsafe levels – and insured workers are already seeing the benefits.
