Business Maverick: Doc Martens and youthful energy shake up Davos agenda By Bloomberg

Often seen as the preserve of old, rich men, this year's World Economic Forum has thrust around a dozen teenage"change-makers" to the top of its agenda, adding fresh voices, energy and fashion to proceedings.The first panel of the four-day Alpine gathering made clear the shift from 81-year-old founder Klaus Schwab, with four young activists, including Sweden’s Greta Thunberg, discussing how to forge “A Sustainable Path towards a Common Future”.

For Thunberg, now a familiar face globally, the transition from campaigner to participant has been rapid. A year ago she was leading protests at Davos as well as speaking, warning the world that “the house is on fire”. Wearing Doc Martens boots and chequered trousers, Wadler appeared entirely unfazed by her role as a Davos participant, saying she hoped to inspire as well as being inspired.
