Abstract
The global problems of humanity at the present stage of development are considered. Climate change is characterized as the most important problem of our time. The acceleration of negative climate changes in the context of their possible forecasting is noted. Groups of climate risks for the world economy are identified: risks of global warming; risks of food and water security; risks of natural disasters; risks of social conflicts. It is concluded that the goal of the international community in the context of climate change should be to coordinate and synchronize actions aimed at neutralizing negative trends that undermine the stability of the global economy.
