| Status | DEBUNKED |
| Summary | A conspiracy theory that the World Economic Forum's 'Great Reset' initiative is a covert plan to implement global authoritarian control and depopulation. Proponents claim that the COVID-19 pandemic was used as a pretext to push this agenda. The theory has been debunked by the WEF and fact-checkers. |
| Origin | The term 'Great Reset' was coined by the World Economic Forum in 2020 as a post-pandemic recovery plan, but conspiracy theories emerged shortly after, misrepresenting its goals. |
| Claimed |
|
| Evidence / consensus | The WEF's Great Reset is a set of economic and social proposals to rebuild after the pandemic, not a secret plot. There is no evidence of a global depopulation agenda. |
