CLIMATE CRISIS AND TRUMP ARE BUSINESS RISKS

THE impact of climate change and the final year of the current Trump administration will be the biggest sources of travel risk in the year ahead, according to intelligence company Riskline.

The company ranked the top ten threats to watch out for in 2020, and climate change topped the board for its potential to cause abnormal weather patterns and natural disasters.

Political, social and economic unrest caused by the US 2020 elections, Brexit and the Us-china trade war could also cause travel disruption, say experts.

Other major threats include Islamic and far-right terrorism, the outbreak of infectious diseases amid on-going migration, and civil rights protests and water shortages in regions such as

India and Pakistan, and in the Middle East.
