World Economic Forum Sees Eco-War as Greatest Threat to Global Stability

A report from the World Economic Forum sees inter-state war as the top threat to global stability in the decade ahead and water as the main factor that will trigger these wars.  The second greatest threat to global stability, according to the WEF, is severe weather events or, as some might call it, early-onset climate change impacts.

Among the above-average impact risks listed are the global water crisis, spread of infectious diseases, failure of climate change adaptation, fiscal crises, biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse.
