(PRESS RELEASE) GENEVA, 28-Sep-2021 — /EuropaWire/ — The World Economic Forum, an international NGO committed to improving the state of the world, and the Government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have announced they will host the Great Narrative meeting in Dubai on 11-12 November 2021.
The Great Narrative meeting is a linchpin of the Great Narrative initiative, a collaborative effort of the world’s leading thinkers to fashion longer-term perspectives and co-create a narrative that can help guide the creation of a more resilient, inclusive and sustainable vision for our collective future.
Top thinkers from a variety of geographies and disciplines – including futurists, scientists and philosophers – will contribute fresh ideas for the future. Their reflections will be shared in a forthcoming book, The Great Narrative, expected for publication in January 2022.
Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, said: “The pandemic has revealed the acute need to focus on the future and long-term health of our societies. The Great Narrative initiative and meeting in Dubai will be a powerful catalyst to shape the contours of a more prosperous and inclusive future for humanity that is also more respectful of nature. I thank Minister Gergawi and the Government of the United Arab Emirates for their support of this initiative that addresses the unprecedented challenges facing today’s world.”
H.E. Mohammad Abdullah Al Gergawi, Minister of Cabinet Affairs, of the United Arab Emirates, said: “This meeting in Dubai is an opportunity to have a global conversation around a future we must envision and craft collectively. The UAE welcomes this conversation and some of the world’s leading thinkers to inspire and spur action towards greater humanism, innovation and a future that is replete with opportunity and shared prosperity.”
