This report by the
Global Challenges Foundation calls on the international community to push urgently forward new initiatives to understand and manage this complex convergence of global risks. Executive Director Jens Orback emphasises that only with a clear understanding of each of the global risks facing humanity can the world rethink how it can better manage them. Kennette Benedict of the
Bulletin of Atomic Scientists in Chicago writes that it is now more likely than ever that nuclear weapons will be used in either military actions, through miscalculation, or by accident, than at any time since the beginning of the nuclear age.

Johan Rockström of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, proposes global cooperation between scientific institutes to study the mechanisms amplifying, accelerating and synchronising systemic risks.
