Global Risks Report 2024
The Global Risks Report 2024, published on January 10, 2024, by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with Zurich and Marsh McLennan, presents the findings of the Global Risks Perception Survey with insights from nearly 1,500 global experts. The report analyzes global risks through three time frames and identifies four structural forces shaping global risks: climate change, demographic bifurcation, technological acceleration, and geostrategic shifts. Environmental risks, especially extreme weather events, and the challenges of misinformation and disinformation are highlighted as significant concerns. The report aims to aid decision-makers in balancing current crises with long-term priorities and offers a comprehensive analysis, expert insights, and a forward-thinking approach to building resilience in a shifting risk environment. However, it also notes a predominantly negative outlook for the world in the coming years, with a significant majority of respondents expressing concern and pessimism.
