Several groups stage demonstrations ahead of the annual World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, urging global leaders to rethink the current economic system
This year will also see the highest-ever business participation at Davos, with more than 1,500 leaders having registered across 700 organisations.
Gianna Catrina, 21, one of the protest leaders, told Anadolu Agency that the ecological crisis right now is fueled by the current economic system, which she said: "is the cause of the environmental problems and also a lot of social problems." She also called for world leaders to shift their focus away from profit because without "preserving nature … the economy is not possible in the future."'The way WEF is structured is problematic'
"There should be international forums. But they should be completely different structured, like not just corporations with big money." She said that they sued the Swiss government on the grounds that it failed to take adequate steps to fight climate change.
