How We Rank Global Risk

The World Economic Forum recently published a Global Risks Perception Survey which lists both long-term and short-term risks, their impacts, and a severity index by category: environmental, geopolitical, societal, and technological. The report analyses global risks through three timeframes to support decision-makers in balancing current crises and longer-term priorities; this latest report seems to indicate that the progressive focus of the past has been supplanted by a regressive setback. Why this change? Why this re-ordering of severity and need? Who is responsible? We'll discuss these issues and more.
