The 20th edition of the Global Risks Report 2025 reveals an increasingly fractured global landscape, where escalating geopolitical, environmental, societal and technological challenges threaten stability and progress. This edition presents the findings of the Global Risks Perception Survey 2024-2025 (GRPS), which captures insights from over 900 experts worldwide. The report analyses global risks through three timeframes to support decision- makers in balancing current crises and longer-term priorities.
The key findings of the report include: that optimism is declining; there is a growing sense of societal fragmentation; environmental risks are moving from a long-term concern to become an urgent reality; and that technological risks are still “under the radar”. Finally, the report examines what kind of consensus is possible in a fragmented landscape.
