2024 Brings Significant Geopolitical and National Security Risk
The year 2024 is expected to bring significant geopolitical and national security risks. Experts believe that the level of risk in 2024 is comparable to that faced in 2002 during the al-Qaeda threat. The prospect of a Russian invasion of Ukraine has heightened tensions, but experts anticipate that 2024 will have even higher levels of risk. Territorial disputes, such as those in the South China Sea and the Korean Peninsula, also contribute to the overall geopolitical risk.
