Respondents were also asked to select the three trends that are the most important in shaping global development in the next 10 years. For each of the three trends identified, respondents were asked to select the risks that are most strongly driven by those trends.

The GRPS is the main instrument used to assess global risks in the Report. The survey was conducted between early September and mid-October 2016 (from 07 September to 15 October 2016) among the World Economic Forum’s multi-stakeholder communities of leaders from business, government, academia and non-governmental and international organizations as well as members of the Institute of Risk Management.
See Appendix B of the Report for more details. To ensure legibility, the names of the global risks are abbreviated; see Appendix A for the full name and description.
