The next decade can be uncertain and turbulent. The cost of living crisis, geopolitical clashes and the failure of climate change policies are the main risks that the world’s population will face in the coming years. These are the key areas of concern that the World Economic Forum’s 2023 Global Risks Report identifies and for which it emphasizes that urgent collective action is needed “before the risks reach a turning point”.
This 17th edition of the report – conducted with Marsh McLennan and Zurich Insurance Group – draws on the views of more than 1,200 global risk experts, policymakers and business leaders.
As the document shows, the energy, inflation, food and security crises are currently the biggest concern and risks, caused first by the pandemic and then by the war in Ukraine. Because of these factors, and according to the report’s participants, the next two years will be marked by the risks of a recession; increasing over-indebtedness; cost of living crisis; polarized societies due to disinformation and misinformation.
