Concurrently, the World Economic Forum published their 2024 Global Risk Report2 in January, highlighting that four out of the five most severe anticipated risks in the longer term are environmental. In addition to extreme weather events and critical changes to the Earth’s systems, these risks included biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and natural resource shortages.
