Instability, inflation and the 'polycrisis' - the Global Risks Report half a year on
At the start of this year, the World Economic Forum published its annual Global Risks Report - a major survey of sentiment about what are the big things that could go wrong - in the economy, the environment, in health, cybersecurity, geopolitics - and more. In this podcast, we invite back the two guests who appeared on Radio Davos in January to talk about the report and its conclusion that the world faced a 'polycrisis' - a combination of risks from many sources. Carolina Klint, managing director at Marsh, and Peter Giger, Group Chief Risk Officer at Zurich Insurance Group, discuss how the risk landscape, as it is sometimes called, has changed in the few months since then.
