Climate change outweighs all other risks

Failing to act on climate change will have serious consequences in multiple ways. We will lose large numbers of animal species because they will be unable to adapt to the new environment they face, and ecosystems will collapse. Rising temperatures and humidity will also pose threats to human health and well-being, and risk making some areas unliveable. And food yields and supplies will all be hit, with crops and animals killed by temperature extremes, droughts and floods. Climate-related risks dominate the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2023, with failure to mitigate climate change perceived as the biggest number risk facing the world over the next 10 years. Natural disasters, extreme weather events, biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse are also top concerns.
