17th edition. Survey: Global Risks Perception Survey 2021-2022, 37 risks. METHOD CHANGE: no likelihood or impact ranking. Replaced by a severity ranking: respondents chose nine risks and ranked them 1-9 by potential damage on a global scale within 10 years; points 9 to 1 summed (Figure 1.3, top 10). Global Risks Horizon (Figure II) asks when each risk becomes a critical threat: 0-2, 2-5, 5-10 years (2021 used 3-5 for the middle band). Not comparable with the likelihood and impact rankings of 2007-2021. Labels are the figures' short labels ('Geoeconomic confrontation' in Figure 1.3, 'Geoeconomic confrontations' in Figure II). Ties ranked in printed order. Category read from the figure colour key.
