London Stock Exchange today welcomes Eurasia Group, which has published its highly anticipated Top Risks 2026 report, the firm’s flagship annual assessment of the most significant geopolitical threats shaping the global outlook in the year ahead.
Unveiled each January, Top Risks is widely regarded as a definitive guide for investors, business leaders, and policymakers navigating an increasingly volatile and fragmented global environment.
The 2026 edition examines an unprecedented convergence of political, economic, and technological pressures, including a reshaping of US politics, US failure to win the post-carbon energy revolution, Europe’s failing political center, mounting uncertainty around AI business models, and water security challenges.
The number one risk for 2026 is the US political revolution.
“The United States is itself unwinding its own global order. The world's most powerful country is in the throes of a political revolution. In our lifetimes, we have never witnessed an American president so committed to and so capable of changing the political system and, accordingly, the United States's role in the world.”
Ian Bremmer
For over two decades, Top Risks has served as a trusted reference point for global decision-makers. The 2026 edition reinforces Eurasia Group’s role in helping markets and institutions anticipate political risk at a moment when geopolitics sits squarely at the center of global economic outcomes.
