The article examines the adaptability of the world economy to the global modern challenges. It was revealed that the main trend in the emergence of new challenges in the economy is the rapid spread of globalization processes, which have led to the elimination of many barriers in society. Modern trends make it impossible to perceive global challenges as a negative event that can lead to catastrophic consequences in the world economy. In fact, the emergence of such challenges is usually positive for the further development of the world, since they are the main driving force in contributing to the development of society and the environment that surrounds it. Defined the concept of global risks according to the methodology of the World Economic Forum and made their classification by categories and long-term. Global risks can lead to huge economic losses, which will negatively affect the development of the world economy. The World Economic Forum in its annual reports on global risks defines the concept of such risks – these are events that cause a significant negative impact on national economies and the most important industries of the countries of the world within 2-10 years from the moment of their manifestation. The most critical risks to the world have been found to be the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the manifestation of extreme weather events, youth frustration, the collapse of social cohesion and climate change. The analysis of the forecast of the growth of the gross domestic product in the world in 2021–2022, which showed that despite the negative growth in 2020, which was caused by the outbreak of the pandemic, in 2021 growth is projected in almost all countries of the world. It has been established that the modern intergovernmental system and international institutions are not capable of ensuring stable growth in the face of crisis phenomena. The development of a mechanism for anti-crisis regulation at the international level is proposed, which should become an effective tool in overcoming the goals that global challenges pose to the world. In addition to international cooperation, it is important to increase the contribution of the scientific and technological community in promoting solutions aimed at the future. Strong interactions between universities, governments, corporations and civil society can be an effective tool in minimizing the impact of future challenges, ensuring better risk management and adaptation.
