Global Risks 2013

The Global Risks 2013 report identifies 'extreme income disparity' as the most likely risk and 'major systemic financial failure' as the most impactful over the next ten years. It introduces a diagnostic framework for national resilience based on five subsystems (economic, environmental, governance, infrastructure, and social) and five components (robustness, redundancy, resourcefulness, response, and recovery). The report highlights three specific risk cases: the collision of economic and environmental stresses, the rapid spread of misinformation in a hyperconnected world, and the threat of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. It also explores 'X-factors'—emerging, unknown risks such as runaway climate change and cognitive enhancement.
