In an era of unprecedented change, understanding emerging risk trends is more crucial than ever. The IRM's Risk Trends annual publication goes beyond merely predicting outcomes, it focuses on the pace of change and the evolving challenges that businesses and boardrooms worldwide must face. As we move through 2025 and beyond, organisations face a rapidly shifting landscape shaped by accelerating technological advancements, the global transition to renewable energy, geopolitical tensions, and tightening regulations on sustainability and governance. At the same time, longstanding risks, including climate change, cyber threats, economic instability, conflict, and public health vulnerabilities continue to evolve, demanding a proactive and strategic response.
