António Guterres, United Nations Secretary-General

The Secretary-General will attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

On Wednesday, he will deliver a special address focusing on “Collaboration for the Intelligent Age”, the theme of this year’s Forum. In his remarks, the Secretary-General is expected to highlight how, despite progress on many fronts – including technological leaps - many of our world’s problems are getting worse.

He will call on the leaders gathered in Davos to shift their collective efforts into overdrive and to improve collaboration to address two existential threats: the climate crisis and ungoverned artificial intelligence.

While at the World Economic Forum, the Secretary-General is also scheduled to have a series of meetings with leaders from governments and the private sector. Before coming back to New York, Mr. Guterres will attend the annual retreat with his Special and Personal Representatives and Envoys.
