<h1>World Economic Forum Warns of Rising Global Risks: Geopolitical Tensions, Misinformation, and Environmental Challenges Dominate 2025 Outlook.</h1> State-based armed conflict is identified as the most immediate global risk for 2025, reflecting increasing geopolitical tensions, according to the World Economic Forum's Global Risks Report. Misinformation and disinformation are highlighted as significant short-term risks, while environmental challenges, such as extreme weather events and biodiversity loss, dominate the 10-year outlook. The report predicts a shift towards a multipolar world order, with China, India, and Gulf states gaining influence as the Western-led order declines. Societal risks, including polarization and inequality, along with technological and economic vulnerabilities, are also noted as pressing concerns.
