Between a pandemic, a climate crisis and the rising cost of living, we've experienced several major events in just the last few years that have threatened our planet and our way of life.
Based on findings from the World Economic Forum’s annual Global Risks Perception Survey — in which more than 1,000 academic, business and political leaders evaluate the biggest threats facing the world — Statista visualized the most pressing global risks over the next two and ten years.
In the next two years, the most urgent threats we face are the cost of living crisis, natural disasters and extreme weather events and geoeconomic confrontation.
Over the next decade, however, experts say the environment should be our priority. The top three most urgent crises to address in the next ten years are failure to mitigate climate change, failure of climate change adaptation, and natural disasters and extreme weather events.
