Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

Recent reports indicate that May 2025 was the planet's second-warmest on record, highlighting the ongoing trend of rising global temperatures. Additionally, there is a noted increase in emissions of potent greenhouse gases from China, exacerbating the greenhouse effect and contributing to global warming. The impacts of climate change are further evidenced by ecological disruptions, such as the threat to endemic species in Sri Lanka and the potential for ice jams in China's Yellow River. These factors, combined with the increased frequency of extreme weather events and the risk of ecological collapse, underscore the urgency of accelerated climate action to mitigate long-term risks.
