Live from the World Economic Forum, Davos

Live from Davos: This is what is happening these days in Davos, Switzerland, during the World Economic Forum 2009.

In the meantime, a Refugee Camp Simulation has been set up for the worldwide CEOs and other powerful representatives to experiment the "reality" as a refugee. The simulation was sponsored by the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) and developed by Crossroads Open Village (an Hong Kong NGO).

What is going to be the practical outcome of this "life altering experience"? And, most of all, are the endless talks and reports of the WEF2009 going to have any positive effect on the present - and apparently long term - crisis?

One voice among many "President Obama is the greenest person [in the White House]. He is pushing hard for a dramatic and bold move in the right direction. If other governments do the same, then we can make the change to a low-carbon future" Al Gore, Vice-President of the United States of America (1993-2001) and Nobel Laureate 2007.
