The World Economic Forum (WEF) published its Global Risks Report 2023 on January 11th. The report is based on the Geneva based non-profit foundation’s Global Risks Perception Survey (GRPS) of over 1,200 experts from international academia, government, business and civil society, which is complemented by input from the WEF Executive Opinion Survey (EOS) of 12,000 business leaders in 121 countries.
The report was published on the same day that Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, the CEO of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company was named President of the upcoming COP28. It is therefore worth highlighting the fact that nine of the Top 10 risks the respondents identified for the coming decade can be directly or indirectly linked to the climate crisis.
