Across every sector of society, decision makers are struggling with the complexity and velocity of change in an increasingly interdependent world. The context for decision making has evolved, and in many cases has been altered in revolutionary ways. In the decade ahead, our lives will be more intensely shaped by transformative forces, including economic, environmental, geopolitical, societal and technological seismic shifts. The signals are already apparent with the rebalancing of the global economy, the presence of over seven billion people and the societal and environmental challenges linked to both. The resulting complexity threatens to overwhelm countries, companies, cultures and communities. We need to explore and develop new conceptual models which address global challenges. It is in this spirit that I present the World Economic Forums Global Risks 2. Now in its seventh edition, the report features more refined risk descriptions and rigorous data analysis covering 5. It aims to improve public and private sector efforts to map, monitor, manage and mitigate global risks. It is also a call to action for the international community to improve current efforts at coordination and collaboration, as none of the global risks highlighted respects national boundaries. This report captures the input of risk leaders in thought and practice, including members of the World Economic Forums Global Agenda Councils. It is also underpinned by the support and guidance of all the partners of the Risk Response Network. Underlying all these risks are velocity, multiplicity, and interconnectivity creating a global system where mastering complexities will be the foremost challenge. The more complex the system, the greater the risk of systemic breakdown, but also the greater the potential for opportunity. Together, we have the foresight and collaborative spirit to shape our global future and particularly the survival instinct to move from pure urgency driven risk management to more collaborative efforts aimed at strengthening risk resilience to the benefit of global society.

The World Economic Forums Risk Response Network RRN was launched to provide private and public sector leaders with an independent, impartial platform to map, measure, monitor, manage and mitigate global risks. Our flagship research activity is this report. Now in its seventh edition, the reports research methodology has been significantly revamped. Data and analysis are based on a newly designed survey covering a meaningfully expanded set of 5. The assessments of these risks more than doubled as a result of this years survey, with 4. The survey captures the perceived impact and likelihood for each risk over a 1. US dollars or hundreds of thousands of lives used in previous years. All of the above was achieved as a result of the unprecedented support from the Forums Network of Global Agenda Councils of over 1,0. Readers will also see marked improvements in data analysis and visualization in this report. A dynamic assessment of each global risk will be available via a new digital platform, Toplink. It is a collaborative, intelligence sharing platform with a social media interface and mobile applications for those engaged in the RRN. The risk radar and dynamic risk barometer are among the innovative analytical and measurement tools currently in development. Many of these features are also available on the Forums website. An important aim of Global Risks 2. March crisis in Japan. Moreover, each of the three cases in this report now feature key discussion questions to contemplate in this regard. The RRN will also focus on the three cases by convening board members, risk executives and policy makers at the highest level at Forum events throughout the year ahead, to discuss resilient global risk management. Looking beyond 2. Risk Response Network will explore the global risks highlighted in this report in their appropriate regional, country or industry contexts by launching task forces and initiatives designed specifically for their mitigation. Many of these efforts will be driven by an interdisciplinary and multistakeholder community, the Network of Global Agenda Councils, as they are the key experts focusing on risk mitigation within the RRN. We look forward to your comments and feedback, as our aim is to enhance the quality and impact of this report each and every year as part of the Forums commitment to improve the state of the world.

The report emphasizes the singular effect of a particular constellation of global risks rather than focusing on a single existential risk. Three distinct constellations of risks that present a very serious threat to our future prosperity and security emerged from a review of this years set of risks. The three risk cases describe the links across a selection of the global risks, their interplay and how they are likely to develop over the next 1. The cases are initially based on a quantitative analysis of interconnections identified in the survey and then developed further via a qualitative analysis conducted through Forum workshops worldwide and follow up discussions with project advisors. Case 1 Seeds of Dystopia. Dystopia, the opposite of a utopia, describes a place where life is full of hardship and devoid of hope. Analysis of linkages across various global risks reveals a constellation of fiscal, demographic and societal risks signalling a dystopian future for much of humanity. The interplay among these risks could result in a world where a large youth population contends with chronic, high levels of unemployment, while concurrently, the largest population of retirees in history becomes dependent upon already heavily indebted governments. Both young and old could face an income gap, as well as a skills gap so wide as to threaten social and political stability. This case underscores the danger that could arise if declining economic conditions jeopardize the social contracts between states and citizens. In the absence of viable alternatives, this could precipitate a downward spiral of the global economy fuelled by protectionism, nationalism and populism. Case 2 How Safe are our SafeguardsAs the world grows increasingly complex and interdependent, the capacity to manage the systems that underpin our prosperity and safety is diminishing. The constellation of risks arising from emerging technologies, financial interdependence, resource depletion and climate change exposes the weak and brittle nature of existing safeguards the policies, norms, regulations or institutions which serve as a protective system. Our safeguards may no longer be fit to manage vital resources and ensure orderly markets and public safety. The interdependence and complexity inherent in globalization require engaging a wider group of stakeholders to establish more adaptable safeguards which could improve effective and timely responses to emerging risks.
