Top global risks in 2026 and how the Davos 'spirit of dialogue' can help us face them

undefined

The Global Risks Report, the World Economic Forum's annual snapshot of the biggest risks facing the world in the near, medium and long terms, shows geopolitical and economic risks on the rise in the new 'age of competition'.

The report is published just days before the Forum's Annual Meeting and is a good indicator of what the 3,000 leaders convening in Davos, Switzerland will be talking about.

Gayle Markovitz is joined by a co-host, Forum Managing Director Saadia Zahidi and two expert guests, Peter Giger, Group Chief Risk Officer at Zurich Insurance, and Andrew George, President, Specialty at Marsh Risk.

The Global Risks Report, available here, was compiled by Mark Elsner and Grace Atkinson of the Forum's Global Risks Initiative.
