Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The current climate risk is elevated by several factors: September 2025 was the third warmest on record, indicating persistent global warming trends. Extreme weather events, such as active tornado seasons and the formation of unusual storms, highlight the increasing volatility of weather patterns. Policy setbacks, like Flanders abandoning its climate adaptation plan and the UK preparing for at least 2°C of warming by 2050, demonstrate significant gaps in global climate governance. Additionally, the near-irreversible die-off of coral reefs and the failure to halt deforestation by 2030 exacerbate ecosystem collapse, further amplifying long-term risks.
