Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The climate threat level is high as recent news highlights significant policy challenges, such as the rollback of climate change regulations by the U.S. EPA, which undermines efforts to mitigate climate impacts. Additionally, extreme weather events like tornadoes and tropical storms are intensifying, causing severe damage and highlighting the immediate impacts of climate change. The potential breach of the 1.5°C global temperature target within three years further underscores the urgency of the situation. These factors, combined with the legal implications of international climate rulings, suggest a critical need for coordinated global action to address both immediate and long-term climate risks.
