Risk Drivers
What is pushing the current reading.
The current climate threat level is elevated by several factors: extreme weather events are pushing adaptation limits, as seen in reports of climate extremes in 2025 and associated impacts on inequality and adaptation capacity. Policy failures, particularly in the US, exacerbate the situation, with misinformation and anti-climate policies hindering progress. Additionally, global warming is causing significant economic impacts, such as rising food prices and reduced agricultural yields, further stressing ecosystems and human systems. These trends indicate a trajectory towards severe long-term risks if not addressed promptly.
