The results of the survey (pdf), conducted by the Global Challenges Foundation, show that people throughout the world perceive the president as a destabilizing force and “six in ten consider the world more dangerous in 2018 than 2 years ago. Politically-motivated violence was listed as the number one global risk by 88 percent of all respondents, while weapons of mass destruction were listed by 85 percent.”

Among the key findings:

  • to say that issues related to violent conflict require urgent response, namely usage of weapons of mass destruction (64%) and politically motivated violence and conflict leading to war (61%);
  • think that a new supranational organisation needs to be created  to respond to global risks, similar to 2017 (71%). Issues relating to conflict and war are seen as most warranting the creation of a new organisation – 30% for weapons of mass destruction and 20% for politically motivated violence – both issues traditionally considered to be the remit of the UN. 16% of respondents think that a new supranational  organisation is needed to fight climate change, with 23% in Sweden agreeing; and
  • that politicians are  not doing enough to combat climate change, with  two in five (42%) strongly agreeing. Respondents  in India (84%) and South Africa (82%) are most  likely to say that they are not doing enough, and  respondents in Australia and the US are the least  likely (both 68%
