Conclusion: Ready or not?

This is incredibly insightful and very useful. Thanks for making such a complex subject user friendly and comprehensive. Loved the report.

I agree with the previous commentator - insightful is exactly the right word. It is also something of an an eye-opener to some surprising risk attitudes. In particular, the light the report shines on the apparaent denial of the immediate and growing threats of natural disasters across the globe is a very valuable one and I hope sincerely that all sectors take note.

The findings of border-line complacency across the risk areas should be a prompt for Boards to move away from trying to not scare the shareholder horses in the short-term and towards establishing a robust longer-term strategic approach to risk.

The report itself though is rare one - it makes a traditionally dry subject clear, engaging and authorative. Thank you - I actually enjoyed reading it.

I can see this report will be an incredibly valuable planning tool for CEOs and their boards. By articulating the global perspective it will help them contextualise the challenges they face. The report is clear, concise and readable.

It paints a vivid and realistic picture of the global risk landscape and has many wider applications. We will seek to use it to encourage better standards of governance around non material risks.

As an movement for responsible business with some 850 companies as members we welcome a report that encourages businesses to take action on the emerging risks that will require long term strategic planning like the talent and skills challenge.
