PREVENTION. PREDICTION. EDUCATION.


IMMEDIATE AND EMERGING RISKS The World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Perception Survey (GRPS) gathers input from the WEF “network of academic, business, government, civil society, and thought leaders,” includ- ing members of the Institute of Risk Management. It uses this definition: a global risk is the possibility of the occurrence of an event or condition which, if it occurs, could cause significant negative impact for several countries or industries.


The 2021-2022 GRPS surveyed near and longer-term percep-


tions of risk—the top 10 for each time period are reported here. From the Global Risks Report 2022: “For the next five years, respondents again signal societal and environmental risks as the most concerning. However, over a 10-year horizon, the health of the planet dominates concerns: environmental risks are perceived to be the five most critical long-term threats to the world as well as the most potentially damaging to people and planet.”
