CRI听力:World Economic Forum Highlights Climate Change and Involuntary Migration

Almost 750 economic experts have worked on this year's Global Risks report.

It analyses 29 separate global risks for both impact and likelihood over a ten year period.

This year - the failure of climate change mitigation and adaptation was considered to be the highest risk in terms of impact.

Margareta Hanouz is Head of Global Competitiveness and Risks at the World Economic Forum.

"We also need to adapt. We can't just hopes mitigation which Paris agreement talks about. We need to adapt to a warmer climate. And this is particular important because effects of a warmer climate are going to spill over into societies and also into global securities situation."

At the top of the Global risks in terms of Likelihood is large scale migration - driven by worsening security situations.

"In 2014 about 16 million people worldwide will be displaced. This is the size of UK population more or less. It's a considerable population. It's crucial we not only resolve the humanitarian crisis associated with it but also restart thinking longer term solutions and sustainable solutions in particular for the refugee situation worldwide. And Europe here is just one small share of the problem. It's a global issue."

Falling oil and commodity prices spooked global markets in 2015 and 2016 started no differently.

One concern is that emerging markets - such as those in Africa - could be badly hit by slowdowns in economic powerhouses such as China.

A drop in manufacturing and instability with China's currency automatically sent shockwaves around the world.

Some fear 2016 could be the year of another financial crash.

Caroline Galvan, an Economist from the World Economic Forum, gave her analysis.

"We are seeing 2016 that we may face another crisis coming from market economies with indebt a corporate debt which in emerging market economies has been rising above 20 trillion US dollars. So it's definitely something to look out for."

With key risks identified, world leaders have a clear focus on areas which need action at the WEF's Davos meeting next week.

Around 2500 business and society leaders will join G20 heads of state in the small Swiss town, knowing there are huge challenges facing every economy over the next 12 months.
