Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The recovery of the ozone layer, while beneficial for UV protection, is projected to contribute to a significant increase in global warming, exacerbating climate change impacts. This is compounded by policy backsliding in Europe, which undermines efforts to mitigate climate change. Additionally, rising workplace heat stress poses immediate health risks and reduces productivity, highlighting the urgent need for adaptation strategies. These factors indicate a high risk of both near-term and long-term climate impacts, as they contribute to extreme weather events, economic instability, and health crises.
