Recommendation

World leaders face extraordinary hurdles in 2019, many arising from weak economic growth, climate change, inequality, geopolitical strains and technological disruption. According to risk experts at the World Economic Forum, policy makers at the national level must also acknowledge the dangerous risk of inaction, as perils mount due to countries’ retreat from multilateralism. This annual in-depth study examines the many interdependent challenges confronting effective governance and the economic advancement of people around the world. Business leaders, government officials and policy analysts will find valuable insights in the report’s comprehensive and robust presentation of 2019’s most consequential risks.

Take-Aways

  • Climate change stands out as the number-one global risk in 2019 in terms of its likelihood and the severity of its consequences.
  • The foremost international economic threat is feeble GDP growth.
  • The year 2019 will likely see the acceleration of greater nationalism, pitting countries as fierce competitors rather than partners.
