Global Risks 2007

This report, from 2007 January, highlights a growing disconnect between the power of global risks to cause major systemic disruption, and the ability to mitigate them. The annual Global Risks report – published by the World Economic Forum in cooperation with Citigroup, Marsh & McLennan Companies, Swiss Re and the Wharton School Risk Center – suggests that many of the 23 core global risks explored in the report have worsened over the last 12 months, despite growing awareness of their potential impacts. In addition to specific risk mitigation measures, institutional innovations may be needed to create effective responses to a complex risk landscape.
