4 They also assess the impact on each Global risk on a scale of 1 to 5 (1: minimal impact, 2: minor impact, 3: moderate impact, 4: severe impact and 5: catastrophic impact). See Appendix B for more details.

10 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, cyberattacks, income disparity and unemployment entered the set of Global Risks in 2012. Some Global Risks were reclassified: water crises and rising income disparity were re-categorized first as societal Risks and then as a trend in the 2015 and 2016 Global Risks Reports, respectively.
