Play Video: Rising to the challenge: Europe’s path to growth and resilience

The sharply deteriorating global order is adding further complications to Europe’s already challenging economic situation. New tariffs come at a time when economies are grappling with structural transformations in demographics and energy, and amidst increasing security spending needs. Export markets are shrinking, uncertainty is undermining firms’ willingness to innovate, and public expenditure needs are rising. Without a turnaround in growth, Europe’s ability to deliver on its social welfare promises is in jeopardy. If European policymakers were to seize the moment, the region’s growth potential and resilience to shocks could rise substantially.

Experts say it reduces public pressure for climate action because the slow pace of change obscures the urgency of the crisis. 6:47 - What if your medicine was never tested on someone like you. There is a gender disparity in medical research. This leaves millions of women facing health decisions without evidence-based options. Here are 5 ways policy-makers can start to close these gaps. _____________________________________________ The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.

For some small businesses, the last week brought even more twists and turns to the past two months of President Donald Trump’s chaotic tariffs. The situation was already confusing, with stops and starts of tariffs at different levels. Then on Wednesday, a US court said Trump overstepped his authority in imposing most of those import levies – only for an appeals court on Thursday to pause the previous court’s ruling. The confusion has made it challenging for some small companies to plan, business owners told CNN. “My fear is, if this continues, there’s going to be like the mass extinction of small businesses,” Julie Robbins, CEO of Ohio-based guitar pedal maker EarthQuaker Devices, told CNN's Phil Mattingly. Mattingly also spoke to grocery CEO Stew Leonard about tariffs on international produce. #CNN #News
