Climate Change

Last year, six major hurricanes devastated the United States and Caribbean.

There were heatwaves in Australia and Europe, melting in the Arctic, wildfires, drought and massive flooding in South Asia. Now comes a new survey from the World Economic Forum  involving one thousand top experts from around the world.

And for the second year in a row, they rank “extreme weather events” as posing the most prominent risk.
