摘要:On the first day of the Annual Meeting,
participants very quickly focused on a major
challenge facing the world that has been
made even more pressing by the
suddenness and severity of the global
economic crisis: How to improve global
governance so that the international
community can better deal with the issues
confronting it. ¡°We are facing a crisis of
governance at a national and international
level,¡± said Kofi Annan, Secretary-General,
United Nations (1997-2006), Member of the
Foundation Board of the World Economic
Forum, and Co-Chair of the Annual Meeting
2009. ¡°The world has changed, but are we
capable of changing fast enough to save the
planet?¡±
