National Risk Register 2025:

Explore the key insights from the UK Government's National Risk Register 2025. Learn how businesses can bolster their operational resilience and prepare for emergencies effectively.

The National Risk Register (NRR) 2025, released by the UK Government, serves as an invaluable tool for understanding the most pressing risks facing the United Kingdom. As the public-facing counterpart to the National Security Risk Assessment (NSRA), the NRR provides a comprehensive overview of risks with the potential to disrupt the nation’s interests.

At New World Norm, a leading operational risk management consultancy, we aim to guide businesses, voluntary organisations, and communities in navigating the evolving risk landscape outlined in the NRR. This latest edition introduces a dynamic assessment process, ensuring timely updates to reflect ever-changing risks.

Key Risks Facing the UK in 2025

The NRR identifies several risk categories that demand attention from operational resilience and emergency planning practitioners, including:

  1. Natural Hazards: Flooding, extreme weather events, and public health emergencies like pandemics remain prominent.
  2. Technological Risks: Cyber-attacks, data breaches, and critical infrastructure failures pose significant threats to organisational continuity.
  3. Geopolitical Risks: Global instability, supply chain disruptions, and energy security issues continue to impact national resilience.

For businesses, addressing these risks requires a proactive approach to business continuity consultancy, disaster recovery planning, and emergency response strategies.

Strengthening Organisational Resilience

The dynamic nature of risks outlined in the NRR underscores the importance of regularly reassessing and updating risk management frameworks. Here’s how organisations can stay ahead:

  • Operational Resilience Consulting: Implement robust systems to withstand disruptions and recover swiftly.
  • Risk Mitigation Services: Identify vulnerabilities and establish safeguards to minimise potential impacts.
  • Incident Management Consulting: Develop clear protocols for responding to crises effectively.

By aligning with the NRR’s recommendations, organisations can enhance their ability to adapt to challenges and safeguard their operations.

The Role of Community and Collaboration

The NRR also highlights the value of community and voluntary sector engagement in building a resilient society. Collaboration across sectors ensures a unified approach to risk management, helping to mitigate the broader impacts of emergencies.
