The World Economic Forum opened in Davos, Switzerland, with participation from heads of state, government leaders, and global companies, under the theme of finding solutions for future challenges within planetary limits.

Discussions are focusing on climate, the economy, and biodiversity loss, which organizers say threatens 75% of natural land.

Meanwhile, hundreds protested the forum and the expected participation of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Police also dispersed an unauthorized protest in Bern and prevented new gatherings, reflecting growing global concern over political tensions.
