The 20th edition of the Global Risks Report 2025 reveals an increasingly fractured global landscape, where escalating geopolitical, environmental, societal and technological challenges threaten stability and progress. This edition presents the findings of the Global Risks Perception Survey 2024-2025 (GRPS), which captures insights from over 900 experts worldwide. The report analyses global risks through three timeframes to support decision- makers in balancing current crises and longer-term priorities.

To align the energy sector with net-zero emissions by 2050, annual investment must increase from $2 trillion today to ~$4.5 trillion. This report argues for a targeted, standardized approach to reducing the cost of financing and mitigating the risks of energy transition projects. Collaboration between investors, industry executives, policy-makers and financial institutions is essential.

Electric vehicle battery supply chains are marked by geographic concentration in mining and manufacturing, combined with a globalized distribution of materials. This model increases emissions, weakens resilience, and risks harming developing economies through unregulated cross-border transfers of used batteries. Meanwhile, first-life battery design focuses heavily on performance metrics like cost, range and safety, often neglecting end-of-life considerations such as repairability, recyclability and reuse potential. The lack of effective tracking systems for battery materials hinders responsible sourcing and informed decision-making across the life cycle.

世界经济论坛与埃森哲合作发布的《2025 年全球网络安全展望》研究了未来一年将影响经济和社会的网络安全趋势。该报告探讨了主要发现，并重点关注了网络安全格局的复杂性，地缘政治紧张局势、新兴技术、供应链相互依赖性和网络犯罪的复杂性加剧了网络安全格局的复杂性。

《2025 年就业未来报告》汇集了 1,000 多家全球领先雇主（共同代表全球 22 个产业集群和 55 个经济体的超过 1,400 万名工人）的观点，研究宏观趋势如何影响就业和技能，以及劳动力转型战略雇主计划在 2025 年至 2030 年期间采取应对措施。

全球合作正处于十字路口。尽管由于地缘政治紧张局势和不稳定加剧，总体合作趋于平缓，但气候和自然、创新和技术以及健康和保健领域的积极势头带来了希望。
