Relationship between Psychological Factors and Climate Change

Social Innovation House Promenade, 57

Wednesday  22 January  9:00 – 9.45

In today’s geopolitical landscape, two layers define the global economy: a physical layer marked by territorial conflicts and protectionism, and a logical layer shaped by technology rules and standards.

This session will explore how multinational corporations and new technology companies can navigate geopolitical divides and global fragmentation across both the physical layer of territorial and protectionist conflict, and the logical layer of technology-enabled flows of data, information and value.

CONTEXT

Founded in Davos in January 2024, the Free Thinker Society brings together thinkers and doers from diverse backgrounds to revive the culture of free, independent, and courageous thought that is increasingly rare in today’s world.

Drawing inspiration from the Renaissance Academies and the Salons of the Enlightenment, the Society provides an informal setting for rich, unscripted conversations, held alongside the World Economic Forum. This space offers a refreshing complement to the more formal discussions taking place inside the Congress Centre.

The Free Thinker Society is grounded in the belief that societal progress and transformation stem from the powerful intersection of connection, communication, and community. By challenging conventional boundaries and connecting diverse perspectives, the Society fosters the cross-pollination of ideas across disciplines, unlocking new possibilities for innovation and progress..

Davos 2025 Sessions

On the occasion of the World Economic Forum 2025, the Free Thinker Society will hold several sessions to discuss leadership in an age of polarization.
