Space is back! No longer the reserve of a couple of superpowers, an increasing number of countries are getting involved, and the private sector is playing a greater role than ever.
On this episode, NASA Chief Economist Alexander MacDonald talks about plans to return to the Moon, and Pascale Ehrenfreund, president of the Committee on Space Research, explains why we are looking for life on Mars and beyond, and what that might look like.

What are 'elastocalorics' or 'reconfigurable intelligent surfaces'? In a few years' time these emerging technologies may have transformed the way we heat and cool our homes, and how we transmit ever greater amounts of data.
They are among the technological innovations identified in the World Economic Forum's annual Top 10 Emerging Technologies report, which picks the tech that could transform the world in the coming years.
In this video-podcast, the two lead authors of the report take us through each of the 10 on this year's list.
The report is produced in collaboration with Frontiers.

"The global economy - it's a complicated picture, in the sense that it's doing better than we expected just six months ago but it's doing much worse than what it was doing six years ago."
World Bank Chief Economist Indermit Gill gives his assessment of the 'glass half-full' global economy.
And as the World Economic Forum publishes the latest edition of its Chief Economists Outlook, the Forum's Head of Economic Growth, Revival and Transformation, Aengus Collins, talks us through the highlights.

Artificial intelligence has the potential to massively improve human health: from developing new drugs to providing more accurate diagnoses and helping people who live with severe disabilities.
But AI also has the potential, if used wrongly or governed badly, to make life worse for people dealing with health problems.

Theatre director Jude Kelly founded the Women of the World (WOW) Festival almost two decades ago to spur conversations about women, men and feminism.
WOW is now a global phenomenon, but does the rise of online misogyny pose a threat to progress on gender equality.
Jude Kelly, who spoke to Radio Davos on World Women's Day 2024, says why it is vital to include men in the conversations about an issue that affects us all.

For half a century, Nile Rodgers has been making hit records that have touched people's hearts around the world. The creative force behind disco pioneers Chic, and some of the best known songs of David Bowie, Madonna and Beyoncé, tells us the definition of an artist: someone whose work "speaks to the souls of a million strangers".
But what if generative AI can make music that's just as good? Is AI a threat or a blessing to art and human expression?
We also hear from the head of the Hollywood actors' union on why moviemakers went on strike over the threat posed by AI. And from Refik Anadol, a leading light in AI-generated art.

The Global Gender Gap Index annually benchmarks the current state and evolution of gender parity across four key dimensions (Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment). It is the longest-standing index tracking the progress of numerous countriesâ efforts towards closing these gaps over time since its inception in 2006.
Forum Managing Director Saadia Zahidi talks us through the main finding of the Global Gender Gap Report 2024 and how she sees the progress and challenges in closing the gender gap worldwide.

Climate 'tipping points' are the dangerous phenomena that could suddenly make climate change even worse than it is already: melting ice sheets that could change ocean currents, thawing permafrost that releases vast amounts of methane, or rainforests turning into dry savannah - events that could completely destabilise the global environment and would be hard or impossible to reverse.
But, according to a growing number of climate scientists, there is also the prospect of âpositive tipping pointsâ. Things that can happen to speed up the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in ways that humanity has so far failed to achieve.
One of those is Tim Lenton, Professor of Climate Change and Earth System Science at the University of Exeter. As you will hear in the interview, other climate experts use terms such as 'social tipping points' or 'sensitive intervention points' - Professor Lenton says these are similar concepts that altogether should dispel the notion that we are doomed by climate change.
