    WEF global risk report reveals only 11% of experts see a stable future: Can we overcome the chaos?

    • January 19, 2025

    The World Economic Forum’s (WEF) 20th global risk report delivers a sobering analysis of the world’s most pressing challenges, revealing that only 11% of experts anticipate stability in the near term.

    The report highlights how geopolitical tensions, environmental degradation, and the rapid evolution of technology are converging to create unprecedented global instability.

    Based on insights from 900 global professionals, it calls for urgent, coordinated action to address these mounting risks.

    WEF global risk report: a grim outlook on stability

    In an era of escalating uncertainty, the report reveals that just 11% of respondents foresee a stable global environment in the next two years.

    Looking further ahead, the outlook grows bleaker, with only 8% expecting stability over the next decade. These alarming projections underscore the need for swift action to mitigate risks and safeguard the future.

    The findings emphasize the urgency for policymakers, economists, and global leaders to prioritize efforts to address environmental threats, geopolitical tensions, and technological disruptions.

    The report identifies heightened geopolitical tensions as a major driver of instability, with territorial disputes, trade wars, and rising nationalism disrupting international collaboration.

    Unresolved conflicts in Eastern Europe, territorial disputes in the South China Sea, and escalating trade frictions between major powers like the United States and China are eroding trust and deepening global divisions.

    As nations prioritize self-interest over collective problem-solving, progress on critical issues such as climate change and global health crises remains at risk.

    The report underscores the escalating environmental challenges threatening global stability, with climate change taking center stage.

    Rising temperatures, biodiversity loss, extreme weather patterns, and water scarcity are pushing ecosystems and societies to their limits.

    The report warns that inaction on climate-related issues will have devastating consequences for both the environment and humanity.

    As natural resources become increasingly scarce, competition over these critical assets is expected to intensify, fueling further instability.

    The double-edged sword of technology

    While technological advancements hold immense promise, the rapid pace of innovation also presents new challenges.

    Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, blockchain, and clean energy solutions are reshaping industries but risk deepening inequalities and creating new vulnerabilities.

    The unchecked spread of misinformation via digital platforms is exacerbating polarization and social division, while ethical concerns around technology’s use and misuse remain unresolved.

    The report calls for a global framework to guide the responsible development and application of technology to ensure its benefits are equitably shared.

    The WEF report highlights the growing probability of catastrophic global events, with 17% of respondents predicting a high likelihood of severe crises within a decade.

    This figure rises dramatically to 45% for respondents who anticipate such crises as nearly inevitable.

    Addressing these risks requires urgent national and international cooperation.

    The report emphasizes the need for adopting sustainable practices, fostering global dialogue, and leveraging technology responsibly to build resilience against future challenges.

    Despite the dire warnings, the report offers a glimmer of hope: recognizing these risks and taking collective action can pave the way for a more secure and resilient future.
