Global Catastrophic Risks 2016

The first report in the Global Catastrophic Risks series argues for the necessity of addressing the issue of a certain type of global risk: a global catastrophic risk. In addition to defining specific risks, their effects and the likelihood of them occurring, this takes a step further and tries to show how different risks relate to one another, what can be done to address them, and provide guidelines on who can and should do this.
