Subject: INARM Message - Risk perception survey results (Swiss Re / Gallup)

From the press release:

People around the world say they're acutely aware of the risks they may face in the future, and are ready to shoulder the financial burden personally. This is a key result from a landmark survey commissioned by Swiss Re on the occasion of its 150 years anniversary. At the same time, respondents of the survey want their political leaders to do more to tackle a riskier world ahead. Key findings include:

• 70% of respondents are prepared to take personal responsibility for their own retirement costs
• 84% think that climate change will be responsible for more natural disasters in the future
• Nearly 8 in 10 fear damage from an earthquake, flood or other natural disaster within the next 20 years
• 75% would use renewable energy if it were made available
• 91% want governments to do more to promote energy efficiency
• Hunger is a major concern, not just in the developing world
