    Addressing the World Economic Forum event, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said, "Global links and global commitments mean we have to have an interest in how the rest of the world is faring."

  • In his special address at the week-long virtual event, French President Emmanuel Macron said the economy of tomorrow is going to have to think about innovation and humanity.

    Ursula von der Leyen, President, European Commission, said, "We must learn from this crisis. We have to change the way we live and do business to be able to keep what we value and hold dear."

    Business leaders commit to Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics

  • The day also saw 61 top business leaders from around the globe, including Mukesh Ambani and Anand Mahindra from India, announcing their commitment to the Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics, a set of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics and disclosures.

  • Further, von der Leyen called for a Paris-style agreement for biodiversity, laying out the economic and social risks of failing to protect a high-functioning, bio-diverse ecosystem.

    She warned that issues ranging from climate change to the lack of social media governance pose a challenge to democracy.

    "Creating vaccine in ten months reveals what happens with pooled resources, expertise, manufacturers, and government finance," she said.

  • German Chancellor Merkel said the pandemic has left a deep imprint. "It will determine how we live and do business in coming years," she said.

    She also talked about multilateralism, arguing that the pandemic has shown how much we are interlinked.

    Merkel warned that trying to isolate oneself always fails. She called for greater transparency in global relations and better support for developing nations.

  • Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron said the human condition is vulnerable and the pandemic has shown that the capitalist model can no longer work. He suggested, "We should take lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic. You cannot think economy without thinking about people."

    He emphasized it will only be possible to address the pandemic with an economy that fights inequality.

  • Further, Ramaphosa said, "The people rather than COVID-19 have created the challenges now faced." The over-ordering of vaccines by wealthier nations left poorer countries and their populations facing shortages. He urged countries that have bought large supplies of COVID-19 vaccines to release the excess.
