According to the World Economic Forum, a 'Davos Manifesto' could be made this year to redraw the economic goals of companies and governments.
The forum will also be discussing the global job scenario, health situation along with topics related to the environment. The entire global community is worried about climate change and how to bring down the temperature by at least 1.5 degrees. The annual summit will be focusing on how to implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs) that have been agreed upon by countries during the Paris accord.
