Executive Summary
The 2026 WEF Global Risks Report reveals how interconnected global risks - climate, geopolitical, economic - are amplifying each other at unprecedented speed. For Indian enterprises, the polycrisis creates both existential threats and strategic openings. Our executive analysis distils the 120-page report into the insights that matter for boards navigating climate strategy in emerging markets. We map the risk landscape to Indian corporate realities: CBAM exposure, supply chain fragmentation, and the capital mobilisation challenge.
