The Global Risks Report 2020

The Global Risks Report 2020 highlights that polarization and economic stagnation in 2020 will worsen the climate crisis:

• Unprecedented confluence of climate and ecological breakdown dominate this year’s Global Risks Perception Survey, a survey which asks global experts and decision-makers to rank their top concerns for the next decade.
  

• Efforts to address the climate crisis over the next 12 months will be hampered by “economic confrontations” and “domestic political polarization”, short-term risks that will rise in 2020, according to 78% of respondents.
• Waiting for the geopolitical system to “snap back” would mean missing our last chance to address the world’s most pressing challenges.
• Health systems globally at risk of becoming unfit for purpose.
