World Economic Forum Global Risks 2025: Insights and Implications for Strategic Risk Management

Join us on 3rd March for an engaging and thought-provoking webinar hosted by the Institute of Strategic Risk Management (ISRM) featuring Mark Elsner, Head of the Global Risks Initiative at the World Economic Forum (WEF) and co-author of the WEF’s Global Risks Report 2025.

The 20th edition of this landmark report addresses critical structural forces shaping the global risk landscape, including climate change, geopolitical instability, technological acceleration, and societal polarisation. Mark will unpack the report’s findings, sharing his perspective on how these global risks are evolving and what they mean for decision-makers today.

The session includes an interactive Q&A, offering you the chance to chance to pose your questions to an expert with extensive experience advising global corporations, governments, and multilateral organisations on navigating risk in complex environments.
