Global risks 2011, sixth edition: an initiative of the risk response network
This report summarises current risks present in the international economy, the world's major players, and offers suggestions for coordinated policies that promote long-term growth. It provides a unique and timely analysis of the risks that are shaping the global environment, including pandemics, terrorism and 'natural' disasters, intending for stakeholders from across business, government and civil society who face a new imperative in understanding and managing emerging risks.
This edition provides a high-level overview of 37 selected global risks as seen by members of the World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Councils and supported by a survey of 580 leaders and decision-makers around the world. The report also benefits from the expertise and thought leadership of the World Economic Forum’s Global Risk Partners: Marsh & McLennan Companies, Swiss Reinsurance Company, Wharton Center for Risk Management, University of Pennsylvania, and Zurich Financial Services.
