World Economic Forum publish new global risk report

The World Economic Forum have just published their global risk report which indicates changing expert views on global risk.

This oft used graphic shows an interesting, if unsurprising, shift in that ‘geoeconomic confrontations’ now tops the list of short term (2 year) concerns, whilst environmental threats dominates longer term (10 year) concerns – although extreme weather remains a short term priority.
