The Relevance of Hispanic Leadership in a more Fragmented World

Wed 21 Jan 2026 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm (CET/GMT+1)
Awakening House (Ochsner: Forum 3)

A private (by invitation only) dialogue session hosted by Casa Hispana.

Please note: This session will be held in Spainish.

In a global landscape increasingly shaped by fragmentation, polarization, and a growing erosion of trust, Casa Hispana convenes influential leaders from the Spanish-speaking world in Davos to reflect on the role Hispanic leadership can and must play in shaping a more cohesive, just, and sustainable future.

This high-level, intimate conversation will explore how collective action, social innovation, technology, and emerging leadership models are translating into concrete responses to today’s most pressing global challenges. The session will highlight how the Hispanic world is not only navigating complexity, but actively contributing solutions.

Designed as a curated space for dialogue, connection, and reflection, it seeks to connect ideas, people, and perspectives while positioning the Hispanic voice as an increasingly relevant and constructive force in the global conversation.

Activating Workforce Wisdom: How to Drive the Transition to a Well-being Economy

Thu 22 Jan 2026 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm (CET/GMT+1)
Awakening House (Ochsner: Forum 2)

What if the greatest untapped asset in the transition to a well-being economy is not new capital or technology, but the forgotten wisdom, agency, and trust already embedded within our organisations and workforces?

Unlocking sustainable prosperity in the 21st century requires more than capital, technology, or efficiency it requires rediscovering the wisdom embedded within people and organisations. Across generations, family enterprises, foundations, and long-lived institutions have understood that resilience is built through trust, stewardship, and long-term investment in human capability. Yet even these actors can drift toward extractive practices as systems scale, digitise, and financialise.

This Fish Bowl session explores how organisations can reclaim the latent wisdom of their workforce while transitioning toward regenerative and well-being economies. Bringing together leaders, practitioners, and participants as co-contributors, the conversation examines how leadership behaviours, governance structures, legal frameworks, and operational models either unlock or suppress human potential.

Participants will explore how modern tools technology, data, and new organisational designs can be harnessed not to control labour, but to empower people, strengthen agency, and rebuild coherence between purpose and performance. The session invites reflection on how trust, dignity, and shared meaning can become productive assets, enabling organisations to generate prosperity that is enduring, inclusive, and aligned with the well-being of people, communities, and the systems they depend on.

100 Million Regenerative Jobs: Rebuilding Local Economies from the Ground Up Through Food Systems, Tourism and Care

Thu 22 Jan 2026 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm (CET/GMT+1)
Awakening House (Ochsner: Forum 3)

What if some of the world’s largest employment sectors—care, food systems and tourism—shifted from extraction to regeneration, becoming the primary engines for restoring ecosystems, uplifting incomes, and anchoring resilient local economies?

A private (by invitation only) dialogue session.

Care, food systems and tourism are among the world’s largest employers—and among the most extractive. This discussion focuses on regenerative care, agriculture, food systems, and tourism as engines for income uplift, ecological restoration, and community ownership, offering a practical pathway to resilient rural and coastal economies in a post-carbon, post-extraction world.

Global Plastic Neutral: Turning Pollution into Jobs and Infrastructure

Thu 22 Jan 2026 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm (CET/GMT+1)
Awakening House (Ochsner: Forum 3)

What if plastic pollution became a foundation for shared prosperity—where every tonne of waste is permanently removed from nature, transformed into infrastructure, and converted into dignified local jobs across economies?

A private (by invitation only) dialogue session.

Plastic pollution is both an environmental crisis and a missed economic and job creation opportunity. This session discusses collaboration opportunities around the Global Plastic Neutral campaign—a scalable, investable circular-economy model that converts all plastic types into construction materials, permanently removing plastic from ecosystems while creating durable local jobs across both developing and industrialized economies.

Join Nobel Laureate and HE President Jose Ramos Horta, who has committed that Timor Leste will become the first Plastic Neutral country in Southeast Asia, for this discussion.

Accelerating Responsible Leadership in Education and Beyond

Mon 19 Jan 2026 10:30 am - 11:30 am (CET/GMT+1)
Awakening House (Ochsner: Forum 3)

What if the greatest risk to achieving the SDGs is not a lack of ambition—but a failure to prepare leaders with the responsibility, courage, and systems thinking required to navigate a world in a constant transition?

With less than five years to 2030, progress on the Sustainable Development Goals is stalling—and in some areas reversing. At the same time, a growing disconnect has emerged between education systems, workforce readiness, and the leadership capabilities required to navigate today’s economic, social, and environmental complexity.

This session, convened by UN Global Compact and its education arm Principles for Responsible Management Education, brings together leaders from business, academia, civil society, and philanthropy to explore how responsible leadership can be accelerated across education and beyond. Hosted at TPC House, the conversation positions education not as a pipeline problem—but as a systems challenge.

Through practical examples and cross-sector perspectives, the session examines how responsible leadership principles can be embedded across institutions, industries, and societies—bridging the gap between values and action. The dialogue moves beyond curriculum reform to ask how business, universities, families, and global institutions can co-create learning ecosystems that prepare leaders capable of stewarding complexity, accountability, and long-term value creation in a rapidly changing world.

Growing The Well-Being Economy: Youth, Smallholder Farming, and the Future of Rural Prosperity

Thu 22 Jan 2026 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm (CET/GMT+1)
Awakening House (Ochsner: Forum 3)

What if the future of global food systems—and youth employment—depends not on aid alone, but on treating smallholder agriculture as core economic infrastructure for a well-being economy that regenerates people, land, and markets together?

A well-being economy places people, livelihoods, and resilience at the heart of economic decision-making—and nowhere is this more critical than in smallholder and family farming. As food systems confront climate stress, youth unemployment, and fragile rural economies, the first mile of agricultural value chains emerges as a decisive frontier for systems transformation.

This panel convened by Global Citizen in partnership with International Fund for Agricultural Development, and Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa, explores how mobilising catalytic public, philanthropic, and private capital can unlock youth-led entrepreneurship, regenerative agriculture, and inclusive rural prosperity.

Anchored in TPC’s well-being economy framework and aligned with pivotal institutional moments—including AGRA’s 20-year milestone and IFAD’s 14th replenishment—the session shifts the conversation from fragmentation to coordination. Leaders from government, finance, development institutions, and agribusiness will examine practical pathways to scale early-stage infrastructure, services, and market access that regenerate ecosystems while creating dignified livelihoods.

The discussion culminates in a collective call to invest in food systems not as charity—but as foundational infrastructure for resilient economies.

The Investment Case for Mangroves Roundtable

Wed 21 Jan 2026 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm (CET/GMT+1)
Awakening House (Ochsner: Forum 3)

What if mangroves were treated not as conservation projects, but as core financial infrastructure for coastal economies?

A private (by invitation only) dialogue session hosted by Mangrove Breakthrough.

Coastal economies in Southeast Asia face escalating climate, erosion, and livelihood risks, yet mangroves—their most effective natural defense—remain largely invisible in investment and policy decisions. This closed-door roundtable and workshop focuses on why and how mangrove value must be systematically integrated into coastal finance. The session introduces the Mangrove Transition Bond, a regional financing instrument designed to mobilize capital through bond issuance and on-lending via local financial institutions to mangrove-adjacent businesses.

By embedding mangrove performance into risk assessment, this approach reframes rice, shrimp, and other coastal commodities as mangrove-positive assets—lower risk due to reduced erosion, salinity intrusion, wave exposure, and stronger social license to operate. Local and regional banks can therefore offer improved terms, enabling communities to access capital for sustainable production. Grounded in Southeast Asian practice, the discussion brings together finance leaders, governments, and philanthropies to explore how mangrove-positive products reach markets and become the new standard for resilient coastal growth.
