Source: Global Risks reports 2007-2015, World Economic Forum. Note: Global risks may not be strictly comparable across years, as definitions and the set of global risks have evolved with new issues emerging on the 10-year horizon. For example, cyber attacks, income disparity and unemployment entered the set of global risks in 2012. Some global risks were reclassified: water crises and rising income disparity were recategorized as societal risks and as a trend, respectively, in 2015. The 2006 edition of the Global Risks report did not have a risks landscape.
Box 1.1: The evolution of the risks of highest impact/likelihood
As the report’s 10th anniversary approaches, the evolution of the perceived top five global risks can be viewed in terms of impact and likelihood as documented in the Global Risks reports from 2007 to 2015. As Table 1.1.1 shows, economic risks largely dominated from 2007 to 2014, with the risk of an asset-price collapse heading the list in the run-up to the financial crisis, giving way to concerns about the more immediate but slow-burning consequences of constrained fiscal finances, a major systemic financial failure in the immediate post-crisis years, and income disparity. This year features a radical departure from the past decade; for the first time in the report’s history, economic risks feature only marginally in the top five. In the 25th year after the fall of the Berlin Wall, geopolitical risks are back on the agenda. The dispute over Crimea in March 2014 serves as a forceful reminder of the consequences of interstate conflicts with regional consequences that seemed long forgotten and unfathomable, as further explored in this report. Similarly, together with other events in 2014, such as the prominent rise of the Islamic State, it has brought state collapse and the failure of national governance back into public consciousness. At the same time, health-related risks, such as pandemics – last considered impactful in 2008 – have made it back into the unglamorous top, following the unprecedented spread of Ebola.
On a higher level, Table 1.1.1 also indicates a shift over past years away from economic risks in general to environmental risks – ranging from climate change to water crises. While this highlights a recognition of the importance of these slow-burning issues, strikingly little progress has been made to address them in light of their far-reaching and detrimental consequences for this and future generations.

11/1/16 9:43Fossil Fuels Just Lost the Race Against Renewables - Bloomberg Business
Página 2 de 5http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-04-14/fossil-fuels-just-lost-the-race-against-renewables#media-1
The price of wind and solar power continues to plummet, and is now on par or cheaper than grid electricity
in many areas of the world. Solar, the newest major source of energy in the mix, makes up less than 1
percent of the electricity market today but could be the world’s biggest single source by 2050, according to
the International Energy Agency.
The question is no longer if the world will transition to cleaner energy, but how long it will take. In the chart
below, BNEF forecasts the billions of dollars that need to be invested each year in order to avoid the most
severe consequences of climate change, represented by a benchmark increase of more than 2 degrees
Celsius.
The blue lines are what's needed, in billions; the red lines show what's actually being spent. Since the
financial crisis, funding has fallen well short of the target, according to BNEF.
Investment Needed to Minimize Climate Change
An earlier version of this story represented the IEA's scenario for solar in 2050 as a forecast when it was infact one of several possible scenarios. The IEA does not make any forecasts for specific expectations after
the 5-year mark, according to spokesman Greg Frost.

PROMISES, PROMISESCountries with pledges to reduce emissions after 2020
GOOD OR BAD COP 21? Promises of emissions cuts are thick in the air. See the map above. Most countries will likely lowball their initial targets. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Some proponents of emissions cuts would say it is better to pick something achievable and ratchet up the target once you have proven it is possible to cut emissions without hurting growth.
China’s target is a case in point. Most analysts expect its emissions to peak by the mid-2020s. Yet the country’s official targets factor in a peak in 2030. This should allow China to give the appearance of overachieving (a diplomatic gift that keeps on giving).
It is also key to understand how emissions reductions are achieved. Europe’s emissions, for example, are down by some measures – in part because growth has faltered. This is not a good model to export to the rest of the world.
A signpost of whether COP 21 will have teeth is whether the delegates can agree on regular reviews (say, every five years) that include gradual ratcheting up of targets.
Another signpost would be the adoption of accounting guidelines that help price climate risks across the financial system. International financial regulators appear to be moving toward eventually incorporating an assessment of climate risk into accounting standards.
CHANGE MANAGEMENT? Will COP 21 actually mitigate climate change? We do not know, and doubt anybody does. Yet we keep at least three points in mind:
1 Politicians often take significant action only when they have their backs against a wall. This sense of urgency has been lacking – and it may not change soon.
2 Energy efficiency can reduce emissions significantly. The use of fuel-efficient vehicles and energy-saving appliances and lighting will save more than 700 million tonnes of oil equivalent annually by 2040, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). This roughly equals the combined annual oil consumption of Germany, France and the UK today. Solutions will range from low-tech (insulation) to high-tech (‘smart grids’ that use technology to efficiently match electricity demand and supply). This is already happening. Regulations on emissions and efficiency standards will likely accelerate the change.
3 Other technology advances and shifting consumer preferences also have the potential to uproot the carbon status quo. Wind power has become cost competitive with traditional sources of electricity generation, according to the IEA. Solar panel prices halved between 2010 and the end of 2014. See page 11 for details.
