Global Risks Report, 2014

2012-2020 method: Global Risks Perception Survey of the Forum's multistakeholder community; each global risk rated for likelihood and impact over a 10-year horizon on a numeric scale (1 to 5 confirmed in the 2012 and 2020 reports; not checked for other years). The size of the risk set changed: 50 risks in 2012, 31 in 2014, 30 in 2020. The risk list and definitions changed between years (for example cyberattacks, income disparity and unemployment entered 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. GRR 2014 prints 'Climate change' (likelihood #4, impact #2); GRR 2020 Figure I renames these 'Climate action failure'. GRR 2014 colours 'Water crises' (impact #3) environmental; GRR 2020 colours it societal. Likelihood and impact labels are the 2014 report's own (Table 1.3). The 2014 report also ranks 'Ten Global Risks of Highest Concern' (Table 1.2) from a separate pick-five question; recorded as ranking 'highest-concern'.
