A8. @Marsh_MMA, we think the future is limitless. So, yes, we are optimistic. The pandemic has reminded us how interconnected we are. Itβs imperative that we work together. We know we have work to do and hope you will join us in further dialogue. https://t.co/AwlKQsjaj9

A5: Many studies done on addressing climate change attribute low single digit % costs to annual global GDP which is surprisingly a low price tag if action is taken early. #MMChats #risks22
Q5: Do you think the world is transitioning fast enough to respond to #ClimateChange? Should governments be working more closely together to drive change? #MMChats #Risks22

A4: It part of the ESG commitment of companies and governments to take collective action to rebuild a more equitable global economy. Let us build Digital Bridges to tackle the growing divide. #MMChat #Risks22
Q4: With the acceleration of technology, #CyberSecurity failures and increased #mobility among the affluent who can #RemoteWork, what is the risk of a continued growing digital divide and inequality within society? #MMChats #Risks22

A3: We may see rising fears about widespread unemployment, backtracking on advances made by women and racial groups, and slides into poverty or homelessness. The potential for anti-immigrant sentiment in migrant destination countries is also concerning. #MMChats #Risks22
Q3: The #pandemic continues to disproportionately impact certain racial, demographic and economic groups, causing growing divisions in the global economy and society at large. What issues might these fissures reveal? #MMChats #Risks22

A2: Climate change and related environmental effects such as extreme weather and biodiversity loss are significant risks with massive consequences in the long term. Risk of inaction is very high. #MMChats #Risks22
Q2: Have new #COVID19 variants, like #Omicron, diverted attention away from other significant #risks with longer term impacts? #MMChats #Risks22

A1: Economic challenges including rising commodity prices, inflation and debt will be major risks for 2022. While Omicron will most likely burn out the pandemic by making it endemic, post-COVID transition risks remain. #MMChats #Risks22
Q1: In 2021, #COVID19 continued to have a severe human and economic impact. What do you see as the top #risks for 2022? Will it continue to be the #pandemic, or are there other risks we should watch for? #MMChats #Risks22

A8: Very positive. COVID-19 has brought the impact of systemic risks to the global consciousness. We need more investment and innovative thinking around mega risks. The private sector response around climate risk is a great example. #MMCChat #Megachat #DavosAgenda
Q8: How optimistic are you about our future? Can we work together to decrease worldwide #risk and build a brighter future for everyone? #MMCChat #MegaChat #DavosAgenda

For example, we need innovative parametric insurance solutions as climate-related weather risk becomes more complex and unpredictable - https://t.co/eQcTmHtauS

A6 We need better resiliency frameworks and products to help address shocks and stresses from low-probability high-impact risks that may not be easily mitigated through traditional risk transfer channels. #MMCChat #Megachat #DavosAgenda
Q6: What lessons can we learn from the impact of #COVID19 to not only mitigate and respond more effectively to future pandemics, but other broader areas of #risk? #MMCChat #MegaChat #DavosAgenda

A5 The biggest positive on climate change has been the entry of the private sector in combating the issue. VC investments in #climatetech reached a record high in 2020. In fact, climate innovation is tracking a breakout. #MMCChat #Megachat #DavosAgenda #climatevc
Q5: While the world has been focused on the #COVID19 pandemic, have we overlooked the danger of #ClimateChange especially as global cooperation weakens? #MMCChat #MegaChat #DavosAgenda

A4 - 30% of youth lack technology to participate in digital and broadcast learning globally. "Digital Inequality" is a major issue that can worsen societal fractures. We need cheap computing and broadband networks globally. #MMCChat #Megachat #DavosAgenda
Q4: With #COVID19 accelerating #technology like #RemoteWorking and the #FutureofWork, what is the risk of a continued growing digital divide within society? #MMCChat #MegaChat #DavosAgenda

A2 - For companies, cybersecurity has become the most pressing risk. There has been a dramatic increase in cyber attacks coinciding with COVID-19 including the worst cyber-espionage incident (2020 Global Supply Chain Attack) that was undetected for months. #MMCChat #DavosAgenda
Q2: Because of the impact of #COVID19 on the world at large, are we ignoring or not paying enough attention to other risks that may be just as dangerous but whose impact is less immediate? #MMCChat #MegaChat #DavosAgenda

A1: Mental health deterioration and youth disillusionment need to be dealt with quickly in 2021 before they become a systemic risk impacting economic growth. A startling statistic - 80%: youth whose mental health deteriorated during the pandemic. https://t.co/XQo029nMBO
