This week’s top stories of the week include:
0:15 Leaders’ priorities for 2025 – The World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting drew leaders from business, academia and civil society. We asked them all the same question: ‘What should leaders prioritize in 2025?’
4:21 This mobile ‘smart clinic’ saves lives – It’s a 12-metre-long converted coach which is driven to remote rural communities to provide specialist care on the spot, from gynaecologists, psychologists and paediatricians. The Smart Clinic was created by Siemens Healthineers and is equipped and operated in collaboration with the Colombian Red Cross.
8:55 3 super-pollutants in our air – Super-pollutants are a category of greenhouse gases and air pollutants which trap even more heat in the atmosphere than CO2, per tonne. Including them in climate change frameworks would lead to more funding to tackle them, says Jane Burston, Founder and CEO of the Clean Air Fund
13:40 The possible end of AIDS – A revolutionary treatment could spell the end of this terrible disease. 40 million people around the world are living with HIV. Every year 1.3 million more become infected with HIV and every day 1,700 people die from an AIDS-related illness.
