<p class="MsoNormal">Excerpt below:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“The Annual Meeting 2015 will
provide a platform for over 50 initiatives that
are currently being led by the Forum, with the aim
of contributing positive, transformative change to
the global agenda, as well as those of industry,
business and the world’s regions. These include a
public-private initiative to help achieve zero net
tropical deforestation caused by key agricultural
commodities by 2020; an endeavour to build a
broad-based, multilateral global architecture for
governing the internet; and the Forum’s Gender
Parity Taskforces, which work with governments
worldwide to improve economic opportunity for the
female half of the population.”</p>
