Global risks in 2025: conflict, misinformation, and climate threats
The World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report has highlighted major threats for 2025.
These include state-based armed conflicts, misinformation, and environmental crises.
The document notes rising geopolitical tensions and fragmentation make armed conflict the most immediate risk, as cited by nearly 25% of survey respondents.
Disinformation and misinformation further fuel instability and erode trust in governance.
Long-term risks are dominated by environmental challenges like extreme weather, biodiversity loss, and resource shortages.
Pollution’s health and ecosystem impacts remain pressing short-term concerns.
Artificial intelligence contributes to technological and environmental risks.
More than half of respondents foresee instability within two years due to weakened international cooperation.
The report emphasizes the urgent need for global collaboration to counter fragmentation and tackle these interconnected risks effectively.
