My Thoughts on the New Global Risks Report Released by the World Economic Forum
Every year, in the latter half of January, the World Economic Forum (WEF) publishes a report on what they perceive are the top global risks over the next 2 years and over the next 10 years. They break down their analysis by age category, geographical location, etc. and rank all their risks.
This years report is really a joke.
What they do not say, is that if one person in particular was not around, their report would be COMPLETELY different. Essentially, the dire state of risks with things like "Geoeconomic confrontation" come down to one person leading one country, and the interstate confrontation risks come down to this same person and one or two other people leading other countries.
In other words, if one or two people were suddenly not in charge anymore, then their report would immediately become wrong, and they could write an entirely new report the next week.
That is simply the state of our world at the moment...

Global Risks Report 2026
The Global Risks Report 2026, the 21st edition of this annual report, marks the second half of a turbulent decade. The report analyses global risks through three timeframes to support decision-makers in balancing current crises and longer-term priorities. Chapter 1 presents the findings of this year’s Global Risks Perception Survey (GRPS), which captures insights from over 1,300 experts worldwide. It explores risks in the current or immediate term (in 2026), the short-to-medium term (to 2028) and in the long term (to 2036). Chapter 2 explores the range of implications of these risks and their interconnections, through six in-depth analyses of selected themes. Below are the key findings of the report, in which we compare the risk outlooks across the three-time horizons.
