Risk Drivers
What is pushing the current reading.
The recent transition from La Niña to neutral ENSO conditions suggests a temporary stabilization in climate variability, which may reduce some immediate weather-related risks. However, the active tornado season in 2025 indicates that extreme weather events remain a significant threat, exacerbated by climate change. While ENSO cycles are a natural phenomenon, their impacts are intensified by global warming, leading to more severe weather patterns. This underscores the importance of adaptive strategies to mitigate long-term climate risks, as the variability in weather patterns continues to pose challenges to ecosystems and human societies.
