Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

Recent news highlights a series of extreme weather events, including tornadoes, wildfires, and catastrophic floods, which are becoming more frequent and severe due to climate change. The U.S. has already experienced 15 billion-dollar weather disasters in the first half of 2025, indicating a troubling trend of escalating economic and human costs. Additionally, the end of La Niña and the transition to neutral ENSO conditions may contribute to unpredictable weather patterns. The systemic issues, such as inadequate policy responses and the need for increased climate finance, further exacerbate the long-term risks associated with climate change, including ecosystem collapse and public health crises.
