Ipsos Update – November 2022

Ben Page introduces November’s edition of Ipsos Update, reflecting on the “polycrisis” ensuing around us: debt, war, disease, inflation and climate change have all become top of mind issues around the world today. We explore this in more detail in our article on global expert perceptions of emerging risks.

Also featured this month: an examination of the opportunities the metaverse presents for brands, the evolving nature of identity in Brazil, the toll of war on the lives of people in Ukraine, and the future of hybrid working.
