2017 in Review: 30 safety and security events that sparked global debates
As we approach the end of 2017, GWS looks back at the past year and counts down to 30 safety and security events that dominated global headlines as well as sparked political, economic and social debates globally. While the inauguration of Donald Trump as the US President ushered in a period of uncertainties, China continued to push for the idea of globalisation under the leadership of Xi Jinping who managed to cement his power in the world’s second-largest economy. The Islamic State (IS) on the other hand launched several daring attacks in Europe just as its territories in the Middle East shrunk day-by-day. Major natural disasters were also an other key highlight of the year with some of them partially attributed to climate change. In this year-ender special, GWS picked 30 events, outlined in seven categories as events that defined safety and security in 2017 and its impact on global business travel. This special analysis is available as an attachment below.
