The Global Risks Report 2026 is the 21st edition of the World Economic Forum's annual report. It presents the findings of the Global Risks Perception Survey 2025- 2026 (GRPS), which captures insights from over 1300 experts worldwide.  

The report analyses global risks through 3 timeframes to support decision-makers to balance current crises and longer-term priorities.

The GPRS findings suggest a heightened prioritisation of non-environmental risks in the outlook for the next two years, compared to the 2025 report. In the next decade, environmental risks have retained their ranking as the most severe risks, with extreme weather events identified as the top risk and half of the top 10 risks being environmental in nature.
