People People face multiple challenges in today’s world, ranging from the changing face of work, where technologies are carrying out more and more human tasks, to the effects of climate change. The Forum is addressing this range of challenges through initiatives that support and create opportunities designed to allow humans to thrive. Focus areas include inclusion, reskilling, upskilling and lifelong education and unlocking new investment concepts and streams. Reskilling Revolution The Reskilling Revolution, a flagship initiative of the Centre for the New Economy and Society, aims to equip 1 billion people with better education, skills and economic opportunities by 2030. It responds to a global challenge: while emerging trends – like technology, demographics and geoeconomic shifts – may create twice as many jobs as they displace, nearly half of all job skills are expected to change by 2030. To help people seize these opportunities and support resilient economies, the initiative focuses on scalable solutions, delivered through partnerships, national and corporate commitments, and a growing network of champions – CEOs, ministers and global leaders – who guide its vision and priorities. It has three core goals: defining future-critical skills, promoting scalable learning models, and ensuring AI and digital integration lead to future-fit education. These are achieved through communities of learning, exchanging best practices and showcasing “what works” across sectors and regions. The initiative is informed by the Future of Jobs Report, the Forum’s most widely read publication, which maps skill trends and change management strategies across industries and countries. Since its launch, the initiative is set to reach over 750 million people and most recently launched national Skills Accelerators in India, Qatar, Bahrain, Azerbaijan and an education-focused accelerator in Rwanda. It also developed a Global Skills Taxonomy Adoption Kit to support skills-first talent strategies. Perhaps its most transformative impact has been a mindset shift: lifelong learning has moved from the HR agenda to the boardroom – no longer a question of whether to invest, but how. Global Alliance for Women’s Health Women spend 25% more time in poor health than men. Yet every $1 invested in women’s health yields $3 in economic growth, and closing the women’s health gap could boost the global economy by $1 trillion annually. These figures underline the urgency behind the Global Alliance for Women’s Health, which is working to transform how women’s health is researched, funded and prioritized. To close the health gap, the initiative focuses on three core areas: advancing science and innovation, unlocking financing, and reshaping public and policy narratives. This includes promoting research that meets women’s diverse needs, increasing investment through new financing models, driving country-level impact by mobilizing commitments and resources and promoting more data to highlight the benefits of improved health outcomes for women. The initiative’s strategy is delivered through five interconnected workstreams. For example, it launched the Global Activator Network on Cervical and Breast Cancer Coalition to improve awareness, diagnostics and treatment of cervical and breast cancer in Sub-Saharan Africa and launched its Global Activator Network on Maternal Health in Nigeria to cultivate a robust country-level ecosystem to advance maternal health outcomes. Through the Policy Transformation workstream, the initiative continued its efforts to place sex-based differences at the core of research and clinical trials to transform women’s health research and advance science. Meanwhile, the Responsible Investing Consortium worked to align capital flows with sustainable and equitable health outcomes for women. A key enabler of this work is the Women’s Health Impact Tracking (WHIT) platform, a tool for measuring and monitoring women’s health gaps to inform policy and investment decisions. Supporting all efforts is a global community of Champions for Women’s Health, who are elevating women’s health in global discourse and contributing to the initiative’s advocacy, policy and partnership efforts.Learn more here Learn more here Annual Report 2024-2025 Our Impact14
