To provide actionable insights, our Global Risk Services team has developed a comprehensive brief, “10 Global Developments and Trends to Monitor in 2025.” This resource highlights the key factors shaping the global risk environment and equips organizations to anticipate and respond effectively. Here’s an overview of what you can expect.

 

2025 presents a critical juncture for several geopolitical hotspots. The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict sees both sides maneuvering for leverage, with hybrid warfare spilling over into critical European infrastructure. Meanwhile, President-elect Trump's impending leadership in the United States signals potential realignments in NATO, immigration policy, and sanctions, with ripple effects across global diplomacy.

In the Middle East, conflicts involving Israel, Hamas, and Syria underscore the fragility of ceasefires and the evolving alliances reshaping the region. In Asia, Myanmar's escalating civil war threatens to disrupt regional stability, while the relationship between Afghanistan and Pakistan grows increasingly strained due to cross-border tensions.

 

Latin America and Europe are no less turbulent. Bolivia's political climate teeters on the edge of escalation as rival factions prepare for the 2025 election. In Georgia, the protests against authoritarianism and Russian influence serve as a barometer for democracy in the region. These situations illustrate the widespread implications of national decisions on international stability.

 

Businesses face heightened risks in 2025, with emerging threats such as hybrid warfare targeting executives and industries linked to Western military-industrial complexes. Anti-capitalist extremism continues to proliferate online, magnifying vulnerabilities for corporate leaders and their teams. International travel and operations, particularly in regions governed by authoritarian regimes, demand robust security measures to counter arbitrary detention and other risks.

 

This year’s trends underscore the necessity of proactive risk management. Organizations must strengthen their security protocols, enhance situational awareness, and adopt comprehensive strategies to safeguard their operations and people.
