Risk Drivers
What is pushing the current reading.
Recent reports and observations indicate an uptick in extreme weather events, such as active tornado seasons, widespread wildfires, and glacier collapses, which are direct manifestations of climate change. Additionally, significant emissions increases, particularly potent greenhouse gases in regions like China, exacerbate the warming trend. Despite some advancements in clean energy and localized climate resilience efforts, global geopolitical inaction and policy failures, especially in major economies, hinder effective climate mitigation and adaptation strategies. The ongoing environmental degradation and the escalating frequency and intensity of climate-related disasters contribute to a high global threat level, necessitating urgent and comprehensive global climate action.
