Risk Drivers
What is pushing the current reading.
The current climate threat level is high, driven by several alarming trends: record-breaking global temperatures, as reported for May 2025, indicate accelerating climate change impacts. Additionally, the rise in emissions of potent greenhouse gases like sulfur hexafluoride in China highlights ongoing challenges in emission control. The spread of infection-causing fungi due to climate change further underscores the multifaceted risks to ecosystems and human health. Despite these threats, international climate discussions are marked by procrastination, suggesting a lack of urgent policy action, which exacerbates long-term risks of ecosystem collapse and extreme weather events.
