Global Risk Report - 2008by: Into The WoodsWed Jan 23, 2008 at 19:52:15 PM EST |
| They're at it again in Davos, Switzerland. The World Economic Forum is in session.
The Who's Who of the Who's Who gathering to talk about what's what. I am always interested in their annual Global Risk Report. It never fails to provide some real insight, even if it's focus wanders from where I would like it to be. After just a quick skim, I think this year is a mixed bag. While pandemic risk is not highlighted, important aspects of a pandemic are discussed. |
In Global Risks 2008, the Global Risk Network has focused on four emerging issues which may fundamentally shape not only the year ahead, but the decades to come. These issues - systemic financial risk, food security, supply chains and the role of energy - are all central to the functioning of the world economy and to the well-being of global society. http://www.weforum.org/pdf/glo...

I have somewhere else to be right now, but will get back to this and offer more comment. Anyone who beats me to it is more than welcome. |
