In this infographic, we have societal risks. To start off, we can clearly see that the risk have risen since 2014, most of them are very significant. The main reason for these changes are climate change. For example, water crisis has been happening in California for 4 years straight now. They are running of water, and the amount of water left can only sustain the state for a short period of time.
The next one is Geopolitical Risks. Similar to societal risks, there is a significant rise in the problems represented here. Major events that have happened are conflict between Russia and Europe over Ukraine. The Ukrainian civil war. The expansion of ISIS and its influences around the world, gaining recognition of a major terrorist group that threatens the safety of many people.
In this last infographic, we can see the positivity of environmental risks. We can see that most of the problems have the decreasing trend in severity, but the likelihood of them happening is still high. With the changes that we have made in terms of helping and preserving the environment, we have decreased the impact of it tremendously.
Everything correlates with each other. For example, the changes in the environment due to pollution have created the terrible 4-year drought in California (which is still going right now.) Conflicts happen because societal risks, where we do not come to a consensus. Right now, we have so many problems in our hands. The risks are increasing mostly. What can we do to decrease them and once again bring our world into a more peaceful time?
I think that societal and environment risks should be concerned and fixed first. Societal risks could bring war which only makes things worse. Environmental will impact heavily on the world, not just an area. Resolving them would decrease many, many problems.
