2011 method: Global Risks Survey of 580 leaders and experts rating 37 global risks for likelihood and impact over 10 years. First survey-based ranking; the risk set changed again in 2012. Label and category as printed in Table 1.3 'The Evolving Global Risks Landscape (2007-2014)' of Global Risks 2014 (p. 17), the earliest retrospective WEF table found; wording in the edition's own report not checked. The Global Risks Report 2020 Figure I reprints the same ranks with shortened and sometimes changed labels and colours, kept as label_grr2020_figure and category_grr2020_figure. Category read from the colour key. Top 5 per ranking only; the edition's own report may rank more risks.
