Risk Drivers
What is pushing the current reading.
The current climate risk is high due to multiple factors: the International Energy Agency's call for no new oil and gas projects to limit warming to 1.5°C underscores the urgent need for policy shifts, while ecological impacts such as the decline in bee populations and slow animal adaptation to climate change highlight ongoing biodiversity threats. Additionally, the triple planetary crisis affecting oceans and the political challenges in addressing climate change, as seen in the resistance from certain political figures and parties, exacerbate the risk. These issues are compounded by the need for immediate and effective global cooperation to mitigate long-term planetary risks.
