The World Economic Forum (WEF) has postponed the annual January meeting of world leaders, billionaires and executives in Davos, Switzerland due to health and safety concerns over COVID-19.
“The World Economic Forum will defer its Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, in the light of continued uncertainty over the Omicron outbreak,” CNBC reported, citing a WEF statement.
An online series of “State of the World” sessions will be held instead, “to focus on shaping solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges.”
The in-person event was scheduled from Jan. 17-21 to address “economic, environmental, political and social fault-lines exacerbated by the pandemic.
WEF added that the pandemic conditions had made it “extremely difficult” to stage a global in-person meeting next month, adding that the transmissibility of the Omicron variant and its impact on travel and mobility had made deferral necessary.
