Annual Survey of Emerging Risks

Findings of the 17th Annual Survey of Emerging Risks shows how actuaries, risk managers and other insurance professionals perceived emerging risk in 2023. The top five emerging risks are: climate change, wars (including civil), disruptive technology, demographic shifts and those relating to cyber and network exposure.

Sponsored by the Casualty Actuarial Society and the Society of Actuaries Research Institute, the survey was conducted by Max J. Rudolph of Rudolph Financial Consulting LLC. The survey covers 23 risks across five categories: economic, environmental, geopolitical, societal and technological.
