What’s the connection between Jimmy Wales, Amal Clooney, Emmanuel Macron, Jacinda Ardern and will.i.am? Answer? They’re all Young Global Leaders.

So what are ‘YGLs’ and how does being part of that group help people - with diverse backgrounds and world views - work for the greater public good?

On this episode of Radio Davos we talk to the person who leads the Forum of Young Global Leaders at the World Economic Forum, and to three alumni who each work in very different sectors and parts of the world.
