Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

Recent reports highlight severe and frequent extreme weather events, such as deadly wildfires in southern Europe and flash floods in the Himalayas, which are exacerbated by climate change. The potential collapse of Atlantic Ocean currents poses a significant long-term risk, potentially altering global climate patterns. Additionally, climate change is driving species and ecosystems to adapt or face collapse, as seen with fish stocks moving to the high seas and the threat to Florida's springs. These developments underscore the urgent need for comprehensive climate action to mitigate both immediate and long-term impacts.
