As a strategic partner of the WEF, PwC provides State of the Debate briefing papers on the themes and agenda set by the World Economic Forum for the Annual Meeting at Davos. Offered to participants that include relevant decision-makers from government, business and civil society, these papers are designed to help jumpstart a discussion to address global, regional and industry priorities shared by all stakeholders. While the world struggles with an economic crisis, global issues that were once at the forefront of public concern-such as climate change, food security, poverty, water and pandemics-are in danger of being neglected as governments, public institutions and the private sector focus on trying to rescue companies and financial institutions, and preserving jobs and homes. Nonetheless, the global financial system is tightly bound to pressing human and environmental issues, which the financial crisis could exacerbate as governments, public and private institutions and the media focus on the economy. Since this shift in focus is also reflected in public policy, will there be enough room for these issues on the agenda?
