More than sixty world leaders and hundreds of business leaders and activists will gather together in the Swiss ski resort of Davos for the annual five-day meeting as part of the World Economic Forum, which starts on Monday. The agenda of this year's meeting includes some of the biggest global challenges, among them the impact of disinformation around the world.

In the report published on Wednesday, the organizers of the high-level meeting said that disinformation is the biggest short-term risk.

"The potential impact on elections around the world over the next two years is significant and could lead to the legitimacy of elected governments being called into question. On the other hand, this can threaten democratic processes that lead to further social polarization, riots, strikes or even violence within the state", says the expert on security issues at the company "Marsh McLennan Risk Consultancy", Carolina Klint.

The meeting is held against the backdrop of two major wars, in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip.

Among those who will go to Davos are Israeli President Isaac Herzog, Ukrainian Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Chinese Premier Li Qiang and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

In addition to political leaders, the meeting will be attended by hundreds of executives of the most powerful companies in the world. Critics say that their wealth has increased, while they themselves are further impoverished by billions.

"All over the world people are experiencing tremendous hardship, while at the same time there are some who are climbing higher and higher. Some of them will be in Davos. Of course the forum is a space for dialogue, for important discussions, and even for holding political and business leaders to account and that is why organizations like Oxfam participate. But it must also be said that it is not an international, democratic space in which transparent and accountable decisions are made", says Nabil Ahmed, representative of Oxfam International, a global movement of people fighting inequality with the aim of ending it. poverty and injustices.
