Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, 22 January 2013 – The World Economic Forum publishes today The Future Role of Civil Society, which highlights key trends, critical uncertainties and strategic concerns for civil society and its relationship with other sectors through to 2030.
With the recent rise in civilian protest and online activity, civil society today is more important and influential than at almost any point in history. Technology and demographics have created more aware, better connected and increasingly educated populations often dominated by younger cohorts. These populations are demanding social justice and accountability from all institutions in a time of economic and political uncertainty.
