The primary objective? To systematically outline how we should approach the world's most significant threats and opportunities in any given year. Bremmer's Top Risks report stands in stark contrast to the clickbait and anger-inducing algorithmic news dominating social platforms. Rather than succumbing to sensationalism, the report serves as a rallying point for professionals and the wider public to focus on what truly matters for global success. It navigates the realm of reality, steering away from ideology and personal biases. As we navigate the complexities of 2024, Bremmer says we find ourselves "in the teeth of a geopolitical recession, facing major wars and confrontations with no prospects for an effective response, containment, or useful diplomacy." Here, Bremmer presents his top 10 risks demanding our attention and preparation in the year 2024. 00:00 Introduction 00:28 Why a Top Risks report? 01:31 2024 is a geopolitical recession 03:45 #10 Risky business 05:07 #9 El Niño is back 07:03 #8 No room for error 09:05 #7 The fight for critical minerals 11:23 #6 No China recovery 12:52 #5 The axis of rouges 15:50 #4 Ungoverned AI 18:53 #3 Partitioned Ukraine 21:34 #2 Middle East on the brink 24:53 #1 The US vs. itself 28:55 The case for optimism in 2024 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go Deeper with Big Think: ►Become a Big Think Member Get exclusive access to full interviews, early access to new releases, Big Think merch and more. https://members.bigthink.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=youtube_description ►Get Big Think+ for Business Guide, inspire and accelerate leaders at all levels of your company with the biggest minds in business. https://bigthink.com/plus/great-leaders-think-big/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=youtube_description ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Ian Bremmer: Ian Bremmer is president of GZERO Media and Eurasia Group, the leading global political risk research and consulting firm started in 1998.

As part of London Circular Economy Week, CLG Europe’s Materials and Products Taskforce will be hosting a webinar setting out EU Circular Economy Policy. The European Union is one of the global leaders in fighting climate change and promoting a sustainable economic growth. In December 2019, the EU launched the European Green Deal, which aims to reform a broad range of European policies and mandates full climate neutrality by 2050. Whilst the most prominent legislation has been on climate, there has also been a growing focus around building a more circular European economy. In 2020, the European Commission presented the second Circular Economy Action Plan – a policy instrument which aims to mainstream circular economy as a strategy that will drive a decrease in GHG emissions and benefit nature, society, and the EU economy. The EU Council, in endorsing the Action Plan, highlighted circularity as one of the key principles that must drive the economic recovery of the European industry. The stories of European companies that have incorporated circularity in their daily operations prove that it is a viable economic strategy which helps to derisk business operations and opens up new possibilities for growth. The Corporate Leaders Group Europe and its Taskforce for climate neutral and circular materials and products, both convened by the CISL, have published a number of reports showcasing the advantages of circularity. Speakers include: Anthony Abbotts, Director Group Public Affairs & Sustainability, ROCKWOOL Group Jørgen Hanson, Corporate Social Responsibility Manager, Norsk HydroJørgen Hanson, Corporate Social Responsibility Manager, Norsk Hydro Krisztina Zálnoky - Senior Research Project Manager, Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership Moderated by Tahmid Chowdhury, Programme Lead, Materials and Products Taskforce, Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership

The journey as it is known is the spiritual work Native peoples use to transform painful experiences into meaning and purpose.  It takes courage to show up for one’s life and respect.

Since 1989 the NW Coastal Indians have participated in a Canoe Journey to villages on the ancestral highways of the Salish Sea. The commitment to be a part of this means joining a canoe family that excludes members from alcohol or drug use. This is a spiritual commitment and people who are in recovery are urged to join as it brings healing to themselves, their family, and the tribe.
