Global Risks Report, 2023

18th edition. Survey: Global Risks Perception Survey 2022-2023, over 1,200 respondents. METHOD CHANGE: risks rated for severity on a 1-7 Likert scale over 2-year and 10-year horizons; ranking by mean severity (Figure A, top 10 each; full lists in Figures 1.2 and 2.1). Risk labels were rewritten as longer phrases (for example 'Failure to mitigate climate change' replaces 'Climate action failure'). Not comparable with 2022 (points from a 1-9 ranking) or with 2007-2021 likelihood and impact. The figure prints 'Failure of climate change adaptation' (2-year) and 'Failure of climate-change adaptation' (10-year) for the same risk. Category read from the figure colour key; 'Cost-of-living crisis' is coloured societal.
