The Lloyd’s Register Foundation World Risk Poll is the first global study of worry and risk across the world.
The findings of the World Risk Poll are based on over 150,000 interviews by Gallup in 142 countries including places where little or no official data exists, giving a voice for the first time to millions of the world’s citizens.
The poll provides us with the first ever complete picture of the differences between people’s thoughts about, and experiences of risk. This insight will be used by regulators, businesses, governments and researchers to develop relevant and relatable policies that empower people to take action, that saves lives and help them feel safer.
