Summary
The Global Risks Report 2026 serves as a comprehensive analysis of global risks, focusing on insights gathered from over 1,300 experts through the Global Risks Perception Survey (GRPS). The report examines the evolving landscape of global risks across three distinct timeframes: immediate (2026), short-to-medium term (2028), and long-term (2036). It highlights the increasing uncertainty and the emergence of geoeconomic confrontations as significant risks in the near future, alongside rising concerns regarding economic downturns and inequality. The report also delves into six key themes that illustrate the interconnected nature of these risks, including the implications of multipolarity, values at war, and technological acceleration. By documenting these findings, the report aims to guide decision-makers in addressing both current crises and long-term challenges, emphasizing the necessity for cooperation in managing global risks effectively. The methodology section details the data collection process and the collaborative efforts involved in shaping the report's conclusions.
