[United Nations Report Indicates Risk of Large-Scale War Rises to Global Forefront]
According to Xinhua News Agency, the United Nations has released the *Global Risk Report 2026*, stating that among 28 global risks, the risk of large-scale war has risen 16 places compared to the initial survey in 2024, making it the fastest-growing risk. 36% of respondents believe that large-scale war could occur within a year, while 76% anticipate it happening within seven years. Risks such as global financial crises, supply chain disruptions, and cybersecurity threats have also risen in ranking. Meanwhile, environmental risks such as biodiversity degradation, widespread pollution, and resource scarcity have seen a decline in ranking. However, challenges like climate inaction, natural disasters, and resource shortages continue to be regarded as significant issues. The report is based on a survey of approximately 1,300 respondents from governments, businesses, civil society, and the United Nations system.
