Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum at Davos, explains how a new global era demands new global responses from our leaders.

It is a call to remind us of the need to adjust our values to the needs of a world which rightly expects a much higher degree of accountability.
If we recognise this crisis as being really transformational, we can lay the foundation for a more stable, more sustainable and more prosperous world after the crisis. Here are five specific objectives for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum at Davos this year.
