This year the Forum is being organized under the theme, "History at a Turning Point: Government Policies and Business Strategies".

The World Economic Forum annually brings together political and business leaders as well as representatives from international organizations, civil society and youth representations from across the world to deliberate and identify pathways to overcome economic, social and environmental challenges.

Climate change is an important agenda on the pages, and is also extremely pertinent to the prevailing heat waves and glacial lake outburst flooding incidents in the country.

Nearly 2500 leaders from politics, business, civil society and media will take part in the forum.
