Rodrigo Tavares, UNU-CRIS Associate Research Fellow, is nominated as Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum

One hundred of the world’s most up-and-coming artists, business leaders, social entrepreneurs, tech pioneers, thinkers and policy-makers – all aged under 40 – have been recognized by the World Economic Forum as this year’s cohort of Young Global Leaders.

They include a tech entrepreneur whose mobile app has helped over 100,000 smallholder farmers in Africa, a Yale graduate who shunned a big-city salary to help millions of villagers in rural China, a micro-insurance pioneer who is providing a safety net for the most vulnerable segments of society and transformative scientists who are pioneers in gene therapy, artificial intelligence, experimental psychology and mathematics.
