Divided on Purpose:
Global Risks 2026 — How They Will Affect You

Divided on Purpose: Global Risks 2026 – How They Will Affect You is a practical report for people living with the consequences of global instability in their homes, workplaces, communities and daily lives.

Written in plain language, it examines the major risks shaping 2026, from conflict, climate stress and economic pressure to misinformation, fragile systems and declining trust. The circumstances may feel beyond our control, but the consequences are reaching all of us. From a public relations practice perspective, the report also helps practitioners advise, inform and guide their organisations, so they can take practical steps to prepare, protect relationships and support the people and communities they serve.

The Chaos Compendium

What we can do as the global polycrisis engine heats up

The Chaos Compendium, published in May 2026, builds on the warnings set out in Divided on Purpose and examines what needs to happen now as organisations, communities and practitioners face a worsening global situation.

Four months into the year, many of the risks identified for 2026 have accelerated. The window for preparation is narrowing and managed chaos has become the operating environment. This collection of reports and briefings is designed for leaders and communication professionals who need to understand what current conditions mean for their sectors, responsibilities and relationships.

Grounded in documented events and directional analysis, the Compendium supports practical planning, sharper advice and more resilient organisational decision-making.
