This is an excerpt of the publication “Global Risks Report 2024”, published by the World Economic Forum, on January 2024″



FIGURE C Global risks ranked by severity over the short and long term  (“Please estimate the likely impact (severity) of the following risks over a 2-year and 10-year period.”)

As close to three billion people are expected to head to the electoral polls across several economies – including Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Pakistan, the United Kingdom and the United States – over the next two years, the widespread use of misinformation and disinformation, and tools to disseminate it, may undermine the legitimacy of newly elected governments.

Resulting unrest could range from violent protests and hate crimes to civil confrontation and terrorism.
