Risk Drivers
What is pushing the current reading.
Recent reports indicate that critical climate tipping points, such as coral reef collapse, have been crossed, exacerbating long-term planetary risks. The Sahel region in Africa is experiencing severe climate-induced displacement, highlighting the immediate human impact of climate change. Moreover, the threat of 'day zero droughts' by 2030 underscores the urgency of addressing water scarcity. These developments, coupled with the retreat of financial institutions from climate commitments and the fading self-cooling effects of glaciers, suggest that current mitigation efforts are insufficient to curb escalating climate threats.
Risk Reduction Actions
