LONDON: Cybersecurity and space increased risk to the global economy, adding to the challenges that existed by climate change and the Coronavirus pandemic, the World Economic Forum said in Tuesday’s report.
Global risk reports are usually released ahead of the CEO’s annual winter winter collection and world leaders at the Swiss Ski Resort Davos, but the event has been postponed for the second consecutive year because Covid-19.
The World Economic Forum is still planning several virtual sessions next week.
This is the overview of the report, which is based on a survey of around 1,000 experts and leaders: World Outlookas 2022 starts, the pandemic and economic and social impacts still cause “critical threats” to the world, the report said.
The big difference between rich and poor nations access to vaccines means that their economy recovers at an uneven price, which can expand the social division and increase geopolitical tensions.
In 2024, the global economy was estimated 2.3% smaller than it should be without a pandemic.
But it covered different growth rates between developing countries, which economy is estimated at 5.5% smaller than before the pandemic, and rich countries, which are expected to develop 0.9%.
The danger of digital pandemic forces a large shift that requires many people to work or attend classes from home and raises a number of online platforms and devices that explode to help transformation that dramatically increases security risks, the report said.
“We are now where the cyber threats grow faster than our ability to effectively prevent and manage it,” said Carolina Klint, a risk management leader in Marsh, whose parent mother McRrennan will write a report with the Zurich insurance group and SK Group.
Cyber ​​attacks become more aggressive and widespread, because criminals use harder tactics to go after a more vulnerable target, the report said.
Malware and Ransomware attacks have been boomed, while the emergence of Cryptocurrency makes it easy for online criminals to hide the payments they have collected.
While they responded to the survey citing the threat of cybersecurity as a short and medium-term risk, Klint said the author was worried that the problem was not ranked higher, showing it “spots” for companies and the government “for the company and the government.
RACESACE SPACE is the last border For risk.
The fall of the cost of launch technology has caused a new space race between the company and the government.
Last year, the founder of Amazon Jeff Bezos’ Venture Blue Origin tourism tourism and Richard Branson Virgin Galactic departed, while the X Elon Musk business made a big profit in launching astronauts and Satellite.
Meanwhile, a number of countries are increasing their space program when they pursue geopolitical and military forces or scientific and commercial advantages, the report said.
But all of these programs increase the risk of friction in orbit.
“The increase in the exploitation of these orbits brings the risk of kemac.
Ethan, increasing debris and the possibility of a collision in the realm with a little governance structure to reduce new threats, “the report said.
Space exploitation is one of the fields thought of respondents among the least number of international collaboration to handle challenges.
Experts and leaders respond to surveys “do not believe that many are done in the best way to move forward,” The Director of the World Economic Forum Implementing, Saadia Zahidi, told the virtual press direction from Geneva.
Other areas include artificial intelligence, cyberatack and migration and refugees, he said.
The environmental climate crisis remains the biggest long-term concern.
The health of this planet over the next decade is the dominant concern, according to survey respondents, which cite failure to act on climate change, extreme weather, and loss of biodiversity as the top three risks.
The report notes that various countries take different approaches, with some moves faster to adopt zero-carbon models than others.
Both approaches come with a downside.
While moving slowly can misinteralisize more people who think the government does not act urgently, a faster shift from the intense carbon industry can trigger economic chaos and throw millions of jobs.
“Adopting hasty environmental policies can also have unwanted consequences for nature,” added the report.
“There are still many unknown risks of spreading biotechnical and geoengineering technology that have not been tested.”
