19th edition. Survey: Global Risks Perception Survey 2023-2024, 1,490 respondents, 34 risks. Same method as 2023: severity on a 1-7 Likert scale over 2 and 10 years, ranked by mean (Figure C, top 10 each). Risk list and labels changed again (for example 'Misinformation and disinformation', 'Critical change to Earth systems', 'Adverse outcomes of AI technologies' are new; 'Cost-of-living crisis' left the 2-year list). Adds a 'current risk landscape' question for the coming year (Figure B, top 5 by share of respondents); its labels differ from the 34-risk list. Category read from the figure colour key.
