Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The articles indicate that 2025 is the third warmest year on record, underscoring the ongoing trend of global warming which exacerbates extreme weather events and impacts ecosystems. The reshaping of the Winter Olympics due to climate change, the economic challenges faced by ski resorts, and the increased costs to oceans highlight the broad and deep impacts of climate change.
