[UN Report: Large-Scale War Rapidly Rises in Global Risk Ranking] The UN's "Global Risks Report 2026," released on the 15th, shows that the ranking of large-scale war among global risks has risen rapidly. The report states that compared to the initial survey in 2024, large-scale war saw the largest increase, rising 16 places out of 28 global risks. 36% of respondents believe a large-scale war will occur within a year, and 76% expect it to occur within seven years. Other risks that saw significant increases include the global financial crisis, supply chain collapse, and cybersecurity issues. Risks that saw significant decreases include biodiversity degradation, widespread environmental pollution, and natural resource scarcity. The report notes that respondents' focus on environmental risks decreased in 2026. Nevertheless, inaction on climate change, natural disasters, and natural resource shortages remain considered significant challenges. (Xinhua)
