Experts identify 17 catastrophic threats to human health
Original: global catastrophic risk
A group of global experts has drawn up a list of 17 catastrophic threats facing human health this century, two of which are described as having the potential to cause human extinction. The assessment highlights risks ranging from pandemics to environmental and technological dangers, warning that without coordinated international action several could cause mass harm. The findings are prompting debate about how governments should prioritise preparedness for low-probability but severe global events.
Why now: Fresh expert warnings about extinction-level risks are drawing attention to how unprepared the world is for catastrophic threats.
