The World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2026 concluded that: “Uncertainty is the defining theme of the global risks outlook in 2026”. For corporates, this gives rise to countless new challenges from supply chain disruption, to cost and pricing volatility, to automation and regulatory challenges.

To help you navigate this evolving landscape, our ‘Exposures Explained’ guide discusses five key emerging coverage risks that we are seeing:
