Up to now, the vast majority of the world's ocean was not governed by a global treaty that would protect this vital part of the planet from pollution or over-exploitation - meaning the high seas were something of a Wild West. But that is all changing. After years of negotiations, member states of the United Nations have agreed the High Seas Treaty, ensuring the protection and sustainable use of marine biodiversity of areas beyond national jurisdictions. Almost two-thirds of the planet's surface is ocean and the seas make up 95% of the Earth's total habitat by volume. But, only 1% of the high seas has, up until now, been under any protection protocol and just 39% of the ocean falls under the national jurisdiction of individual countries. Kristian Teleki, Director of Ocean Action Agenda and Friends of Ocean Action at the World Economic Forum tells us what is in the treaty and why it's such a big deal for the planet.

"During those 102 hours, I connected with my soul, my brain, my body, to a level that I will probably never do again. And I discovered a part of myself that I couldn't think was capable of doing what I did." Noam Yaron swam from Corsica to just off the coast of Monaco, mainland Europe, to push himself to the limit and raise awareness about the marine environment. Here's what he learned about human endurance and the threats to nature posed by pollution, shipping and rising temperatures.

How does the superpower rivalry between the US and China dictate international relations more broadly? And what does it mean for the future of trade, security and development?   Lyunn Kuok, Lee Kuan Yew, Chair in Southeast Asia Studies at the Brookings Institution, and a member of the Forum's Global Future Council on Geopolitics, analyses the state of the global relations almost a year into the second Donald Trump presidency.   This episode is a collaboration between the World Economic Forum's weekly Radio Davos and Beyond the Headlines, the flagship current affairs podcast of The National, the Middle East's leading English-language newspaper. It was recorded at the Forum's Annual Meetings of the Global Future Councils and Cybersecurity in Dubai on 15 October, 2025.

We all rely on nature to survive - but humans continue to destroy and degrade the environment to an extent that puts our own species at risk Nature conservationist Marco Lambertini puts the case for going 'nature positive' - getting companies and countries to account for their impact on nature and find ways to conserve and restore more than they destroy.

The transition to net-zero is a daunting challenge for any industry - but what if diverse sectors can help each other speed up progress? That's what can happen in an 'industrial cluster'. In the episode we hear from two such clusters - the Port of Antwerp-Bruges in Belgium and the Andalusia Green Hydrogen Valley in Spain - just two of the more than 35 industrial clusters around the world, supported by the World Economic Forum's Transitioning Industrial Clusters (TIC) initiative, to drive economic growth, employment and cut greenhouse gas emissions. And we speak to the head of the Mission Possible Partnership - an organisation that works to advance the energy transition in industry which also puts a strong emphasis on industry clusters or 'clean industrial hubs'.

Electronic devices that tap into a human's nervous system have been around for decades, for example to help paralysed people move and deaf people hear. Now, a new generation of neurotechnology promises to revolutionise treatments for a range of conditions that afflict billions of people. We look at the benefits and assess the risks with Jen French, a campaigner for access to neurotechnlolgy who has been using a device for 25 years since a snowboarding accident made her quadriplegic. And Tom Oxley, the CEO of neurotech startup Synchron, explains how 'brain computer interfaces' are giving paralysed patients the ability to use computers and smart phones.  They also address concerns about things such as data privacy, unequal access to health tech, and device 'abandonment'.

The global economy is moving from experiencing "episodic shocks" to "a new operating regime, one that is defined now by persistent disruption."

Around the world, people are developing low-emissions technologies - but they can only succeed if there is market demand. In this episode, we hear how the First Movers Coalition helps create that market by getting big companies to invest in emerging technologies that aim to de-carbonise the 'hard to abate' sectors. And we meet the buyer and seller of low-emissions cement doing just that.

The European Union is implementing a 'Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism' (CBAM) that will levy a fee on importing certain goods that are produced in countries that lack regulations forcing producers to cut their greenhouse gas emissions. It's an idea that other countries are considering, but is also hugely complex and may be challenged by exporter countries. Two expert guests explain the policy and its implications for business and global trade.

Welcome to this bonus episode of Radio Davos. A few episodes ago we interviewed author and historian Adam Tooze about geopolitics. Adam has his own podcast, Ones & Tooze, published by Foreign Policy where he is also a columnist. We thought we would pop an episode on the Radio Davos feed so you can take a listen. In this episode, Adam and his co-host Foreign Policy deputy editor Cameron Abadi, look at the state of global development. Radio Davos will be back very soon, in the meantime enjoy this episode of Ones and Tooze. Ones and Tooze show notes: Whither Global Development Some 10 years ago, the United Nations came up with its Sustainable Development Goals, a series of objectives for the world around alleviating poverty and protecting the planet. But these days, it's clear that very few of those goals will be met by the target date of 2030. What happened? And what does the Trump administration's retreat from international development mean for the world?  On this episode of Ones and Tooze, a weekly economics podcast from Foreign Policy magazine, hosts Adam Tooze and Cameron Abadi dig in. New episodes of Ones and Tooze are released every Friday.

The politics might change, but the science is clearer than ever. The planet is warming - and even faster than predicted - due to the emission of greenhouse gases. Faced with the facts, where do businesses, policymakers, and the rest of us go from here? We get the latest in climate science from Johan Rockström, director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, and hear from Sumant Sinha, the head of India-based renewable energy company ReNew, on the outlook for business. The episode is co-hosted by Pim Valdre, head of the World Economic Forum's Climate Ambition Initiative and leader of the Alliance of CEO Climate Leaders.
