Global Risks Report 2022 Press Conference with @CarolinaKlint (@MarshMcLennan), Peter Giger (@Zurich), @zahidi, @borgebrende, @amonck #risks22 twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

'Our planet is on fire and we have to deal with it – this is a risk we know, we are not faced with a blind spot.'

@borgebrende begins the #risks22 launch with a powerful reminder.

'We are faced with supply chain challenges, inflationary pressure and looming debt crises. I believe if we’re going to deal with these, with inequality and nature challenges, we need more private-public cooperation.'

@borgebrende on overcoming the challenges we face.

'The good news is people are generally optimistic about how health crises are being dealt with and the response to natural disasters, but with cyber attacks and migration, that’s where people are less optimistic.'

Saadia @zahidi gives her take on the #risks22 report.

'Our planet is surrounded by a junkyard of human-made space debris that poses a serious threat to global communications and the future of space travel.'

@CarolinaKlint (@MarshMcLennan) on the need to clean up not just the planet, but what's floating in space too.

Climate action failure and extreme weather events are seen as the most critical long-term risks – the pandemic will limit ability to respond.
