Global Risks Report 2021

COVID-19 is exacerbating ongoing geopolitical and societal challenges, and the existential crisis of climate change looms large. More innovative and collaborative approaches to resilience are needed more than ever.

The 16th edition of the Global Risks Report, published by the World Economic Forum with support from Marsh McLennan, highlights the disruptive implications of major risks, including the COVID-19 pandemic, that may reshape our world in 2021 and over the next decade. 

The report draws on the survey results from nearly 700 experts and decision-makers globally who were asked about their concerns for the next decade, how global risks interact, and where opportunities exist to collectively act to mitigate these threats.
