A8. @Marsh_MMA, we think the future is limitless. So, yes, we are optimistic. The pandemic has reminded us how interconnected we are. It’s 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 #MMChats

As we begin 2022, we face unprecedented and intertwined challenges.

@WEF's Global Risks Report 2022 encourages leaders to think ahead and create policies that manage risks and build a safer, fairer future for everyone.

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

[Asha Vellaikal @asha]

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

[Carolina Klint @CarolinaKlint]

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

[Asha Vellaikal @asha]

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

[Asha Vellaikal @asha]

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

[Asha Vellaikal @asha]

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

[Asha Vellaikal @asha]

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

[Asha Vellaikal @asha]

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

[Asha Vellaikal @asha]

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

[Asha Vellaikal @asha]

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

[Asha Vellaikal @asha]

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

[Asha Vellaikal @asha]

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 #MMCChat
