Global Risks 2010 A Global Risk Network Report

Global Risks 2010 – A Global Risk Network Report. A World Economic Forum Report in collaboration with Citi, Marsh & McLennan Companies (MMC), Swiss Re, Wharton School Risk Center, Zurich Financial Services. January 2010.

  • “This year’s report explores a set of risks that share a potential for wider systemic impact and are strongly linked to a number of significant, long-term trends. First, there are those which feature highly on the Global Risks Landscape and which predated the recession but have been exacerbated by its impact through greater resources constraints or short-term thinking. These include:
    • Fiscal crises and the social and political implications of high unemployment
    • Underinvestment in infrastructure, both new and existing, and its consequences for growth, resource scarcity and climate change adaptation
    • Chronic diseases and their impact on both advanced economies and developing countries….other risks include: transnational crime and corruption; biodiversity loss; and cyber-vulnerability.”
