The World Economic Forum confirmed Tuesday that founder Klaus Schwab is moving away from the day-to-day management of the organization after more than 50 years at the helm. The forum said that the move was part of a years' long strategy to change its management structure, shifting governance to a president and managing board. The forum did not reveal who would succeed Schwab and become the face of its elite annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland.

A smokestack stands behind piles of coal at the coal-fired Onyx Kraftwerk Farge power plant on March 10, 2022 near Bremen, Germany. Environment and energy ministers from G-7 countries wrapped two days of talks in northern Japan on Sunday without acting on Canada's push to set a timeline for phasing out coal-fired power plants. In a statement posted to Twitter Sunday, Guilbeault said he still welcomed the shared commitment between G7 countries to accelerate coal phaseout, but also called for greater urgency. Japan advocated instead for its own natural strategy that includes the use of what the country calls "clean coal," where the emissions are captured. A report released earlier this month by the Global Energy Monitor — a group that tracks global energy projects — found G-7 countries account for 15% of the world's operating coal capacity.

Charles had been due to travel first to France but cancelled that part of the tour due to violent social unrest there.
