Radio Davos | Ocean: David Attenborough’s new film will transform how you see Earth

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

“Once you’ve truly seen the sea, you’ll never look at Earth the same way again.”

David Attenborough has spent nearly a century on Earth, bringing the mysteries of nature to viewers around the world. In his latest film, Ocean, he shows how humans still have so much to learn about life below the waves and its vital contribution to life on land.

One of the film’s directors, the naturalist Colin Butfield, tells Radio Davos about some of the revelations in the movie and the accompanying book that he co-wrote with Attenborough.

Global Gender Gap Report 2025

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

How long will it take to achieve global gender parity? At the current pace: 123 years.

The conversation examines this year’s parity score and why, despite some progress, the world remains generations away from full gender equality. It explores the persistent gaps in women’s political and economic participation, the role of smart policy over national wealth in driving change, and the growing economic imperative to accelerate progress. The panel also reflects on what countries can learn from one another and how gender parity is becoming central to long-term growth and resilience.

Host: Stephanie Holmes, Head of Public Engagement at World Economic Forum Guests: Saadia Zahidi, Managing Director at the World Economic Forum

Sue Duke, Head of Global Public Policy at LinkedIn

Norman Loayza, Director of the Global Indicators Group at the World Bank

Experts Explain | Daniel Susskind | How can we rethink growth?

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

Given the overlapping crises facing the world today—widening inequality, accelerating climate change, rising political instability, and slowing progress in poverty reduction—it’s no longer enough to ask whether economies are growing. We need to ask at what costs and in what ways.

In our latest episode of Experts Explain, Oxford professor and author Daniel Susskind discusses how we found ourselves in today’s growth dilemma and why confronting today’s challenges demands a total rethink of prosperity, how we measure it and what we truly value.

GPS for the Moon & Uncertain Global Economic Outlook | WEF | Top Stories Week

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

This week’s top stories of the week include:

0:15 Firm building a GPS for the Moon — A Spanish tech company, GMV, is developing LUPIN—a lunar GPS system that helps rovers and astronauts navigate the Moon’s surface safely. Designed with the European Space Agency, LUPIN identifies the best routes by using satellite data to avoid hazards and guide explorers to their destinations.

1:31 How an AI agent could help you — If you’ve heard of AIAgents, you probably think of them as a sort of personalized robot assistant that can carry out tasks on your behalf. That would be wrong, says Kanjun Qiu, CEO of Imbue, an AI research lab. She says that, correctly used, AI agents are an advanced software tool that empowers users to customize and interact with their digital space more fully, without requiring the advanced skills of coders.

4:07 Uncertain global economic outlook — Amid trade tensions and a rise in nationalism, the world’s chief economists are unanimous in predicting a poor year for the global economy. It’s not all bad news, though: the rise of AI adds opportunity as well as disruption, while a reshuffle in global geopolitics could allow more marginal markets to shape their own destinies.

7:22 Students find careers with AI — In Latvia, students are getting help planning their futures with an AI career coach called Nākotnes darbs, or "future of work". This web-based platform starts with a personality test, asking users to rate their interest in 60 different activities, such as repairing bicycles or working in a lab.The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.
