Issue 15 of Connect Magazine is your year-in-review for risk professionals – a rapid-fire tour through the biggest themes that shaped 2025. Each month’s standout article is pulled together into one sharp, cohesive roundup, revealing a year defined not by a single disruptor, but by the collision of many: geopolitical shocks, climate extremes, AI acceleration, regulatory shake-ups, and the growing weight of non-financial risk.

Inside, you’ll revisit the topics that dominated boardrooms this year – from Trump-era tariffs and shifting global alliances to the rise of generative AI, climate-driven stress tests, third-party vulnerabilities, and the psychology behind risk decisions. It’s a snapshot of how the industry adapted, stumbled, and innovated through twelve months of relentless change.
