WEF Global Risk Report 2025

Unpacking the WEF’s 2025 Doom Scroll: War, Lies, and Old Age Woes
Global Risks Report 2025 - World Economic Forum

Bob and Amy take a deep dive into the World Economic Forum's Global Risks Report 2025. The report presents findings from the WEF annual survey of over 900 global leaders and experts to identify and analyze the most pressing global risks in the short and long term.

Now in its 20th edition, it categorizes these risks as economic, environmental, geopolitical, societal, and technological, highlighting the interconnected nature of many challenges. State-based armed conflict emerges as a top immediate concern, reflecting current geopolitical tensions, while societal fragmentation, misinformation, and environmental degradation also feature prominently. The report also explores emerging risks like adverse outcomes of frontier technologies and the challenges posed by super-ageing societies, offering insights and potential actions for mitigation and preparedness.
