Rebuilding Trust

In an increasingly complex and fast-moving world, societal divides have deepened as people seek to reaffirm their identities. This is occurring against a backdrop of a shift towards multipolarity in geopolitics, growing competition between global powers and policy shifts towards protectionism, leaving international cooperation at a crossroads and hampering both trade and investment. At the same time, the digital economy is playing an increasingly critical role in reviving trade. The World Trade Organization estimates that the value of digitally delivered services has increased fourfold over the past two decades, growing at an 8.2% rate annually while growth in trade averaged 5.8%. How can stakeholders find new ways to collaborate on solutions both internationally and within societies?
