What will the world look like when this new generation leads?… As youth the world over force us to confront the perils of our inaction—and show us the possibilities from recognizing that life doesn’t have to be as it is—we are beginning to see some answers.” The TIME Davos issue features essays from a range of contributors including CEO of JPMorgan Chase Jamie Dimon, former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, gun control activist and advocate Emma González, inventor of the World Wide Web Tim Berners-Lee, former President of Chile Michelle Bachelet, and more.
