I am one thousand percent confident it is not" On the second anniversary of the murder of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis (May 25 2022), we spoke to social psychologist Phillip Atiba Goff.

"When it comes to diversity and inclusion, we should be looking at accidental bias, and if we can switch that we actually start to get to a critical mass that can push the others" When Lexi used a virtual reality conferencing system to close a business deal, her height and age were concealed. Two years later, she met the client in real life and they were taken aback; the real life Lexi did not align with their preconceived expectations and the encounter exposed their own biases. Find out whether digital solutions can challenge stereotypes and promote gender equality. #genderequality #bias #digital #web3 #inclusion #diversity

"Imagine, children with disabilities who are in basements in the most dangerous zones. They're scared to go outside. They haven't seen for weeks, months daylight. There's a lack of water, food - basic human needs" In the most terrible of circumstances, disability rights activist Leopoldine Huyghues Despointes has been working to evacuate and provide emergency assistance to Ukraine's most vulnerable. Save Ukraine is the most active NGO in Ukraine, and Leo was in Davos to raise awareness and secure vital funding.

"You don't stop it anywhere, until you stop it everywhere" For many in the Global North, the Covid-19 pandemic has been relegated to the past. In #Davos, it was rare to see a single face mask. However, for many in Africa, the pandemic is a very real concern in the present. The continent has the slowest vaccination rate of any continent, with average doses per 100 population still under 50. Mark outlines the impact of Covid-19 in Africa, and the steps we can take to improve healthcare systems and tackle the disease. #health #pandemic #crisis #vaccineinequity #development #aid

"If we fix plastic. The omnipresence of plastic in our lives. If we can ween ourselves off of this toxic and indestructible material, we will change so much" Sian Sutherland highlights an 'invisibility' around plastic - shockingly 70% of our clothes are made out of fossil fuel plastic! Sian describes a culture of hyper-consumption, that has driven our obsession with plastic. She believes that removing plastic from our lives is the gateway to addressing the existential threat facing our planet. #plastic #recycling #planet #sustainability
"One big mistake is to the think that solving healthcare inequality requires solving all of society's problems" Othman Laraki works closely with communities to deliver healthcare - whether in the form of vaccines, testing or screening. Color expanded rapidly during the Covid-19 pandemic and Othman has worked closely with public health authorities to combat vaccine hesitancy. He argues that a 'community-oriented' approach is the key to increasing trust in healthcare systems. #healthcare #pandemic #covid #vaccine #technology #community
"I was a Blackberry user and my email was my disturbing element all the time" From the moment we wake up to the moment we go to sleep, our lives are dominated by devices. 'Digital wellbeing' is an increasingly used buzzword, but few are offering a viable alternative to the smartphone. Punkt has designed a handset that aims to encourage users to switch off, whilst having a limited impact on its functionality and addressing increasing concerns around security. #digitalwellbeing #technology #addiction

"We're standing for our values when we stand next to Ukraine." Throughout many centuries of #Ukraine's turbulent history, Mandeep Rai has identified a unifying value; freedom. This contrasts with Russia's profound sense of fortitude; showing its might internally and externally. She highlights that countries react to crises according to their #values. In a conflict driven by competing world-views, we should pay more attention to our values.
“It was absolutely necessary, what you’ve been experiencing is an absolutely frenzy on the retail side” Increasingly, institutional investors like Blackrock are delving into the #de-fi space. Boris views this a natural development in the sector, akin to the shift from retail to institutional investors in equities that occurred during the 1920s and 1930s. Offering his take on the #cryptocrash, Boris also discusses the power of #tokenisation, the saturation of the #crypto market, and how Color can unlock value in the banking industry.
Lucian advocates for the use of play and creativity, to develop stories form a future where we are all thriving. These stories can be reverse engineered to develop strategies and funding milestones that will take us towards this imagined reality. #storytelling #moonshot #future
"We're going to have a very vibrant democracy on the other side of this, but the media is fundamental to the vibrancy of that democracy" Internews has been working with Ukrainian media for around three decades. The war has challenged #journalists, forcing many to become war correspondents overnight. Jeanne outlines the future of the #media in Ukraine, whilst also highlighting the desperate plight of journalists in #afghanistan and #myanmar, which rarely get the attention they deserve. #pressfreedoms #conflict
