The risks humanity will face by 2036: catastrophes and species extinction
According to experts from The Global Risks Report 2026, over the next ten years, humanity will primarily face dangerous weather events, biodiversity loss, and critical ecosystem changes.
The report is traditionally released before the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos and serves as a strategic early-warning tool for businesses and political leaders. It reflects comprehensive expert analyses from leading civil society stakeholders, research institutions, and the private sector.
Sustainable development analyst Anastasia Laukkanen reviewed the report and emphasizes the urgent need to address these challenges to effectively respond to looming catastrophes and prevent the depletion of natural resources.
The Global Risks Report 2026 is a pivotal document that shapes global understanding of emerging threats and guides efforts by world leaders to mitigate risks in the coming years.
In summary, humanity faces an urgent imperative to integrate climate and biodiversity concerns into every level of decision-making to lessen the social and economic impacts of future crises.
The coming years will be critical in overcoming these threats and determining the resilience of societies in the long term.
