World Economic Forum 2026 Global Risks Report

This report from the World Economic Forum can help you to better understand looming large-scale system risks, what they might mean for your organisation, and how to better balance current crises with longer-term priorities. Capturing insights from over 1,300 experts worldwide, the report analyses global risks through three timeframes: the current or immediate term (in 2026), the short-to-medium term (to 2028), and in the long term (to 2036). The report goes beyond identifying key global risks (geoeconomic confrontation, state-based armed conflict, extreme weather events, societal polarisation, misinformation and disinformation, biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse, etc.) to exploring the range of implications of these risks and their interconnections through in-depth analyses of select themes. This resource will be especially beneficial to risk managers and sustainability professionals.
