"We are witnessing the turmoil caused by kinetic wars, the deployment of economic weapons for strategic advantage, and growing fragmentation across societies. And as these “here and now” risks unfold, longer-term challenges, from technological acceleration to environmental decline, continue to create knock-on effects across systems.
The 21st edition of the annual report, examines global risks during a turbulent decade. It analyzes risks across three timeframes, covering risks from 2026 to 2036, to help decision-makers balance immediate challenges and long-term priorities. Chapter 1 presents insights from the 2026 Global Risks Perception Survey, based on responses from over 1,300 experts worldwide. Chapter 2 explores the implications and interconnections of these risks."
