It will work to bridge the growing North-South divide on issues such as emerging economic policies, the energy transition and geopolitical shocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith geopolitical tensions and socio-economic disparities deepening divides globally, international collaboration and purposeful dialogue has never been more urgent,\u201d said B\u00f8rge Brende, President, World Economic Forum. \u201cThe Special Meeting 2024 provides an opportunity for leaders from across sectors and geographies to turn ideas into action and unlock scalable solutions to the many interconnected challenges we face.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAt this global inflection point, revitalizing international collaboration has never been more important. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the World Economic Forum has chosen an established and dynamic global platform for thought leadership, solutions and action, as the host of a critical meeting \u2013 at such a critical moment,\u201d said Faisal F. Alibrahim, Minister of Economy and Planning of Saudi Arabia. \u201cTo this end, Saudi Arabia is mobilizing its full diplomatic might to lay out a mutually beneficial path to prosperity for the intertwined destinies of the global community. We are working to ensure that progress for one part of the world does not come at the expense of another. And we are committed to meeting this moment with a determination to co-author a shared future that is secure, stable and sustainable.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The three thematic pillars are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A compact for inclusive growth<\/strong>: Focusing on how recent trends in innovation and economic policy, coupled with underinvestment in human development, threaten to exacerbate global inequality and hinder poverty reduction efforts, and which opportunities could help counter these risks across advanced, emerging and developing economies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Catalysing action on energy for development<\/strong>: With the world facing a potential 2.9\u00b0C temperature rise and significant disparities in energy access, this focus area will seek solutions to scale up clean energy while ensuring equitable growth and energy access, especially in developing economies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Revitalizing global collaboration<\/strong>: Amid growing geopolitical tensions, participants will foster dialogue to support international collaboration, amplify humanitarian efforts and contain the ripple effects of instability. They will also explore how to build a more resilient global economy through strengthened international collaboration between the Global North and South.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than 220 public figures, from over 60 countries will participate in the Special Meeting which is under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prince<strong>&nbsp;Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud<\/strong>, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
