Which key global risks will be discussed at #Davos2025 this week? World Economic Forum's latest Global Risks Report sets the agenda for discussions at the Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos this week. It reveals a significant carryover of 2024’s key concerns and highlights some new shifts in risk perception. Environmental concerns featured heavily in last year’s report, and with 2024 severely impacted by extreme weather, its a similar outlook in both the 2-year and 10-year scenarios. In the latest World Economic Forum article, Mark Elsner writes on risks highlighted in the report, including: 🌎 Extreme weather events are the top risk of the next decade for all stakeholder groups. 🌎 Pollution is seen as a more pressing, shorter-term risk. 🌎 #BiodiversityLoss and ecosystem collapse are perceived as a greater risk in the long term. It's crucial that all parts of society - particularly governments and businesses - double down on efforts to accelerate the transition to a #NaturePositive, #NetZero and #Equitable economy. 🔗 Learn more: https://ow.ly/5Y0t50UH0UF

Exciting times for anyone in risk management and internal audit! The WEF Global Risks Report, combined with the Strategic Intelligence tools, is an invaluable resource for navigating today’s complex risk landscape. From state-based armed conflicts to environmental and societal risks, understanding these trends is key to proactive and effective decision-making.
#Davos properly kicked off yesterday with the press briefing (watch it here: https://lnkd.in/e9iktzfJ), but in my mind, the Davos conversations really get going when the Global Risks Report sets out the context for where the world is and where it might be going. Here are the things that keep risk analysts awake at night in 2025, summarised by Mark Elsner in this excellent blog: https://lnkd.in/eZYG52Za And here some of the more surprising findings in this piece from Grace Atkinson. https://lnkd.in/eZfDgbE6 The top lines: 💣 The most pressing short-term threat? State-based armed conflict, now ranked as the top global risk, a dramatic rise compared to just two years ago. 🍁 Environmental risks remain critical, with extreme weather events and biodiversity loss dominating the 10-year outlook. 🌉 Meanwhile, societal risks like misinformation and political/cultural polarization continue to intensify, reflecting deepening divisions and global fragmentation. Of course, challenges are not destiny. And understanding risks help to mitigate them. Join the conversation on how to navigate these risks at #wef25, where global leaders will explore solutions and hopefully exercise some constructive optimism. #Risks25

❄️ “Davos is great, but I‘m missing all the snow“ was a sentence I heard a lot in the Swiss Alps last week. While geopolitics dominated headlines at #WEF2025, comfortable temperatures and the reduction in snow were tangible reminders that the planet is heating up, and a critical business reality remains unchanged - physical climate risk is fundamentally reshaping global supply chains. What does that mean for business leaders? The costs are no longer theoretical and are building up: 👉 In the UK this summer, a special system had to be implemented to manage tracks buckling under extreme heat. 👉 In Germany, a top steel maker declared a force majeure for steel supplies due to extreme weather. 👉 In Australia, steel operations also faced delays from flooding. 👉 Worldwide, major ports continue to face closures from intensifying storms. These aren't future scenarios – they're today's balance sheet realities. The best conversations in Davos were not about making net-zero pledges or reporting, but those hardening their operations against climate realities. Thank you The New York Times PwC Stephen Dunbar-Johnson Christoph Gebald Bob Mumgaard Jennifer Morris Faustine Delasalle Fatou Jeng Dominik Asam and many more for the great dialogues and action plans! What was your major takeaway from the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting? SAP #SupplyChain #ClimateRisk #BusinessResilience #SAPSustainability

The World Economic Forum has just concluded, with the last of our crew departing Davos, but preparations for next year are already in full swing. Given Davos’ limited capacity, prime locations are in high demand, and many businesses are already securing their spots and making plans for 2026. If you’re thinking about taking your brand to the World Economic Forum next year, start by asking yourself: Why do you want to attend? What are your goals? Who do you need to connect with? Whether it’s to secure a place at the table for climate action discussions or showcase cutting-edge technology to potential investors, knowing your purpose is essential. Once you’ve defined your “why,” it’s time to start planning for January 2026—and don’t forget to pack some snow boots. #WEF2025 #Davos #BrandExperience

5 days to go for the World Economic Forum at Davos…. One of the insights which I always look for prior to Davos is the Global Risks report by WEF. The 2025 edition shows a world which is beset with a wide portfolio of risks. While misinformation is interestingly at #1, there are a wide variety of geopolitical, technology, societal and economic risks that loom in the coming two years. However, putting this aside, if you look at a longer 10-year horizon, the picture is very different. 👉🏻 5 of the Top 10 longer term risks are all related to climate and the environment. On that note, as a Strategic Partner to the World Economic Forum, Tata Consultancy Services will be focusing on Sustainability, Artificial Intelligence and Strategies to build resilience, at this year’s Davos. Keep an eye on my feed for more on it. To start with, here is an insightful opening piece of research from our Future-Ready Manufacturing team, which broadens our understanding of one of the key components of sustainability - building an electric vehicle(EV) ecosystem. The brand new 2025 emobility study from TCS, was launched at the Detroit auto show and shows that 64% of consumers are more likely to buy Electric Vehicles (EVs) this year, with younger (and the oldest!) consumers showing the most enthusiasm. You can find the full study here: https://lnkd.in/d-esV5Sf

Ever wondered what keeps our global economy ticking? It's not just fancy tech or financial wizardry - it's logistics! But there's more to this industry than meets the eye. Let's unpack some fascinating insights: 1. Beyond Moving Boxes: Logistics isn't just about transport. It's a complex dance of freight, storage, handling, and high-tech coordination. Without it, our world economy would grind to a halt! 2. Climate Change Double Agent: Here's the kicker - logistics accounts for 11-12% of global CO2 emissions, BUT it's also crucial for climate solutions. Talk about playing both sides! 3. Cold Chain, Hot Market: As the world warms up, the demand for refrigerated logistics is soaring. Projected growth? A cool 14% annually for the next 9 years> 4. Extreme Weather Wildcard: Climate change isn't just a future threat - it's hitting logistics hard right now. Floods, storms, you name it. Resilience is the name of the game. 5. Building the Green Future: From setting up wind farms to managing carbon capture - logistics is the backbone of our sustainable infrastructure. 6. The Overlooked Key Player: Despite its importance, logistics often gets the cold shoulder in climate reports and research. Time for a change! The future of logistics isn't just about moving goods - it's about moving our planet towards a sustainable future. And definitely need more focus and tech revolution to protect the environment, more opportunities lie ahead! :) #Logistics #ClimateChange #Sustainability #SupplyChain #Innovation
