Risk Drivers
What is pushing the current reading.
The current climate threat level is elevated due to several factors: ongoing extreme weather events such as tornadoes and flooding, as well as the economic impacts of climate change, which are becoming more pronounced. Articles highlight the $120 billion cost of climate-related disasters in 2025, the influence of climate change on biodiversity, and the increasing insurance costs driven by anti-climate policies. These issues are compounded by policy failures and insufficient global coordination, which hinder effective climate action. Additionally, the persistence of extreme weather patterns, such as those influenced by ENSO, underscores the urgency of addressing climate change to prevent further ecosystem and economic disruptions.
