Climate Change

The climate threat level is elevated due to several factors: the active tornado season and intensified wildfires highlight the immediate impacts of extreme weather, while policy setbacks, such as the EPA's proposed rollbacks on climate regulations, undermine efforts to mitigate these effects. Additionally, the significant rise in deforestation in Colombia, particularly in the Amazon, accelerates biodiversity loss and carbon emissions, contributing to global warming. These developments, coupled with the challenges in accurately predicting climate patterns like ENSO, underscore the urgency of addressing climate change through robust policies and international cooperation.
