Each year, the WEF surveys “experts” (make of that what you will) about what they consider to be their greatest concerns.
Economic concerns topped the list, with “extreme weather events,” “pollution,” “critical change to Earth systems,” and “biodiversity loss” all dropping in year-over-year ranking.
A caveat they tossed out was that they were still most worried about the environmental categories on the long-range list of concerns.
