Key takeaways

The world is facing a complex risk landscape.

While some of the major economies are moving from crisis recovery to achieving long-term growth, others are still struggling, underscoring the divergence in pandemic recovery.

Space risks require attention.

As space competition accelerates, dated space governance frameworks are under pressure and there are growing security concerns, including around the threat that space debris could pose to the future of safe space travel.

The pandemic has changed our view of risk.

Events that felt unlikely may happen, requiring companies to expect them, plan for them, and focus on organizational resilience to be prepared to respond and recover from the next major event.
