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. The goals have been set for the world to achieve by 2030.

The question now before the world is how to implement the SGDs.

The meeting will also focus on reducing political tension brewing between various countries, preparing the world for the fourth industrial revolution, mitigating dangers arising out of technological warfare, taking the world out of longterm debt and biodiversity.
