In 2015, a tradition that has since become a highlight of the Davos gathering was born. An event dedicated to uniting and celebrating the inspiring women who bring their leadership and vision to this global stage. In 2025, we were thrilled to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of our annual Women Leaders Reception!

This very special evening is always more than a celebration; it's an opportunity to build connections, foster mentorship and champion each other as women leaders. Together, we reaffirmed our commitment to gender equity and the essential role of women’s voices in shaping a more inclusive future.

Thank you to the partners who shared the stage with us: our co-founding partner The Adecco Group; Bayer; Mastercard; and the Saudi Tourism Authority | الهيئة السعودية للسياحة Authority.

Stay ahead with the January edition of APCO's Climate Intelligence Report, featuring updates and insights on global climate policies.

This month, new key policies include:
• United States: President Trump signed an executive order withdrawing the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement, raising uncertainties for industries that depend on clear climate policy frameworks.

• China: A national plan to transition from fossil fuels to low-carbon hydrogen in critical sectors—such as steel, chemicals and power generation—paves the way for achieving carbon neutrality by 2060.

• United Kingdom: The government’s Clean Power 2030 Action Plan includes £40 billion in annual investments to enhance renewable and nuclear energy infrastructure, aiming for energy independence by 2030.

In this edition’s Quick Takes, we explore the state of green finance, examining the impact of major banks and asset managers exiting Net Zero coalitions and the implications for the sector's future.
