The findings of the 2021 World Risk Poll are based on over 125,000 interviews conducted by Gallup in 121 countries, including places where little or no official data exists, giving a voice to millions of the world’s citizens.
This second edition of the Poll builds on the first Poll findings from 2019 and provides a direct comparison between how people around the world perceive risks and how they experience them. These insights, published across four themed reports, will be used by governments, regulators, businesses, communities, NGOs, researchers, and international bodies to inform and target policies and interventions that save lives and help people feel safer.
