Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 13 November 2012 – Members of the World Economic Forum’s Network of Global Agenda Councils have revealed in a survey that the issues which concern them most in 2012 have changed markedly in the past 12 months. According to the annual Survey on the Global Agenda, released today at the Network’s annual meeting in Dubai, members saw the crumbling eurozone as the most significant trend of 2012. Two other trends, a lack of global leadership and global interdependency, which had been regarded as low priority in 2011, have also risen steeply to prominence.
