The Cambridge Centre for Risk Studies is delighted to present the launch of the 2018 update of the Global Risk Index, in collaboration with Lloyd’s of London and launched as the Lloyd’s City Risk Index 2018. The Index provides groundbreaking analytics of the potential impact on the economic output (GDP@Risk) of over 200 of the world’s major cities from various man-made and natural threats.
One of the most prominent features of the 2018 update is the worldwide rise in the threat of interstate conflict. The enhanced likelihood of interstate and civil conflict is a key factor in the rise in geopolitical instability on a global level with an increase for all of the cities profiled in the Index and further heightened vulnerability for certain cities.
The Global Risk Index allows users to understand the economic implications of a variety of risks, and use the GDP@Risk metric to enhance their preparedness and resilience. In this way, governments and firms will be better equipped to deal with risks in the future, some of which they may not have previously encountered.
