Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The current climate risk is elevated by a combination of extreme weather events such as catastrophic floods in southern Africa and severe winter storms in the U.S., both intensified by climate change. Additionally, the lack of adequate insurance in regions like Asia exacerbates vulnerability to these disasters. The ongoing challenges in global policy coordination, as evidenced by geopolitical tensions and insufficient climate action, further contribute to long-term risks. These systemic issues highlight the urgent need for comprehensive and coordinated global efforts to mitigate climate impacts and adapt to changing conditions.
