The Moments that Moved the Room

Turning Risk Into Opportunity:
Vision | Courage | Innovation
In 2018, our task was ever more urgent: The World Economic Forum’s 2018 Global Risks report, Fractures, Fears & Failures, found that three of our top five risks likely to happen in the next 10 years are environment-related: extreme weather events, natural disasters, and the failure to mitigate and adapt to climate change. The report stated that the world is entering a “critical period of intensified risks” and “we have been pushing our planet to the brink.” And yet, the opportunities to build prosperous, secure, thriving communities and economies have never been greater. To succeed at scale and urgency, we must address the interconnections and pursue strategies that serve multiple benefits. To that end, the Sun Valley Forum includes diverse topics and approaches, from energy and food to equity and human resilience and from policy and investment to technology and communications.
