Risk specialists identified armed conflict, extreme weather and disinformation among the top global risks for the year ahead, according to a World Economic Forum (WEF) survey released on Wednesday.
Nearly a quarter (23%) of respondents in the WEF’s flagship “Global Risks Report” ranked state-based armed conflict as the most pressing concern for 2025.
Misinformation and disinformation were cited as top risks over a two-year time horizon for the second straight year, while environmental concerns such as extreme weather events, biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse dominated the 10-year risk rankings.
