The 18th edition of the WEF’s Global Risks Report focuses on the risk of a potential “polycrisis”, which is a cluster of interdependent global risks with compounding effects. Extreme climate events or geopolitical crises such as the war in Ukraine can for example lead to food, water or energy supply crises, which can in turn have massive ripple effects and eventually lead to political upheaval, social unrest and even mass migration. "The world's collective focus is being channeled into the “survival” of today’s crises: cost of living, social and political polarization, food and energy supplies, tepid growth, and geopolitical confrontation, among others," Saadia Zahidi, managing director at the World Economic Forum finds, warning that “much-needed attention and resources are being diverted from newly emerging or rapidly accelerating risks to natural ecosystems, human health, security, digital rights and economic stability that could become crises and catastrophes in the next decade.”
Translation: Don't be distracted by your selfish focus on your own family's heating-and-eating needs; send money, pay your fair share, because we have a world to save from imminent destruction.
