Global Risks Report 2022, Seventeenth Edition
From the Executive Summary: "As 2022 begins, COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] and its economic and societal consequences continue to pose a critical threat to the world. Vaccine inequality and a resultant uneven economic recovery risk compounding social fractures and geopolitical tensions. In the poorest 52 countries-- home to 20% of the world's people--only 6% of the population had been vaccinated at the time of writing. By 2024, developing economies (excluding China) will have fallen 5.5% below their pre-pandemic expected GDP [gross domestic product] growth, while advanced economies will have surpassed it by 0.9%--widening the global income gap. The resulting global divergence will create tensions-- within and across borders--that risk worsening the pandemic's cascading impacts and complicating the coordination needed to tackle common challenges including strengthening climate action, enhancing digital safety, restoring livelihoods and societal cohesion and managing competition in space. The 'Global Risks Report 2022' presents the results of the latest Global Risks Perception Survey (GRPS), followed by an analysis of key risks emanating from current economic, societal, environmental and technological tensions. The report concludes with reflections on enhancing resilience, drawing from the lessons of the last two years of the COVID-19 pandemic."

Challenges and Opportunities in the Post-COVID-19 World
From the Introduction: "While a global pandemic has been a looming risk for decades, COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] has come as a shock to society, health systems, economies and governments worldwide. In the midst of extraordinary challenges and uncertainty, and countless personal tragedies, leaders are under pressure to make decisions on managing the immediate impact of the pandemic and its consequences, decisions that will shape the state of the world for years to come. What might be the silver linings in the crisis and how might leaders use this moment to build a more prosperous, equitable and sustainable world? In this collection of essays, the Global Risks Advisory Board of the World Economic Forum's Global Risks Initiative looks beyond the current crisis to the potential challenges and opportunities in the post-COVID-19 world. The result is a range of expert opinions from a geographically diverse set of leaders. They are designed to offer new perspectives on the post-pandemic future, in support of efforts to proactively and collectively shape the future we want."

COVID-19 Risks Outlook: A Preliminary Mapping and Its Implications
From the Introduction: "The first global pandemic in over 100 years, COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] spread across the world at an unprecedented speed. [...] As countries seek to recover, some of the more lasting economic, environmental, societal and technological challenges and opportunities are only beginning to become visible. While societies, governments and businesses collectively grapple with these possibilities, it is vital to anticipate the emerging risks generated by the repercussions from the pandemic. 'The COVID-19 Risks Outlook' seeks to provide a preliminary picture of which familiar risks may be amplified by the crisis and which new ones may emerge, recognizing that key issues remain to be analysed - health and geopolitics among them. This report is an initial mapping that will be supplemented by further work including the World Economic Forum's annual 'Global Risks Report.'"
