The TOP global
risks for 2024:
PRINCIPALI rischi globali per il 2024: The global risk landscape in 2024 is characterized by a confluence of challenges that necessitate a comprehensive examination. Foremost among these concerns is the escalating impact of record global temperatures, giving rise to increasingly detrimental consequences. Simultaneously, a pervasive cost-of-living crisis compounds the daily struggles of individuals worldwide, while heightened tensions in the #MiddleEast pose the imminent risk of evolving into a broader regional conflict.
Against this backdrop, the year #2024 is poised to be a landmark in the realm of global politics, as it anticipates the largest #election year in history, involving the participation of 4 billion people across 60 countries. However, this electoral milestone is not devoid of challenges, as the specter of misinformation looms prominently, casting a shadow over the integrity of democratic processes.
IL Forum economico mondiale'S 2024 Global Risks Report encapsulates these multifaceted challenges, offering insights into the top 20 risks identified by 1,490 surveyed thinkers and specialists. Their responses, limited to selecting up to five risks perceived to pose a substantial global crisis in 2024, revealed a nuanced risk profile.
At the forefront of global concerns is the risk posed by extreme weather events, as identified by the surveyed leaders. Moreover, this environmental challenge ranks second in terms of overall severity over the ensuing two years. The unpreparedness of #global economies to grapple with the repercussions of acute #weather phenomena, encompassing shocks to food systems and extensive infrastructure damage, underscores the urgency of addressing climate-related vulnerabilities. Notably, research indicates that irreversible planetary changes may materialize by the 2030s if current temperature trajectories persist.
A closely intertwined threat emerges in the form of misinformation and disinformation, constituting the second-most significant risk according to surveyed specialists. This peril extends beyond merely eroding trust and deepening political divides; it possesses the potential to subvert global electoral processes.
With pivotal elections scheduled across nations including the #UnitedStates, #Russia, #India, #Mexico, IL #UnitedKingdom, #Sudafrica, E #Ghana, safeguarding the integrity of democratic institutions assumes paramount importance. The implications of misinformation extend beyond the political realm, permeating societal trust and cohesion on a global scale.
The enclosed chart provides further risk insights for #2024.
