IRMSA Risk Report – South Africa Risks 2018
The Institute of Risk Management South Africa (IRMSA) publishes an annual risk report, but the 2018 edition specifically focused on "Future" risks, which was a report on longevity risk and opportunity and the need for continuous learning due to the 4th Industrial Revolution. The IRMSA Risk Report series uses risk-based scenarios to explore the future, with the 2018 edition considering risks related to intergenerational living and the need to adapt to a changing job market.
WEF Global Risk Report – 2026
The 2026 Global Risks Report warns that an age of intense global competition is eclipsing multilateral cooperation, driving uncertainty and systemic fragility. Geoeconomic confrontation and state-based armed conflict dominate short‑term risks, while economic downturn, debt burdens and asset bubbles intensify concern over financial stability. Societal polarization, fuelled by inequality and mis/disinformation, is eroding trust, weakening social contracts and pressuring democratic institutions. Environmental risks fall down the two‑year agenda but remain the most severe over a 10‑year horizon, as extreme weather, ecosystem degradation and stressed infrastructure threaten long‑term resilience.
