Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The recent actions by the Trump administration to revoke the EPA's scientific finding that greenhouse gases endanger public health represent a major setback in the fight against climate change. This move not only weakens the regulatory framework needed to curb emissions but also signals a broader dismissal of scientific consensus on climate risks. Such policy reversals exacerbate long-term planetary risks by potentially increasing greenhouse gas emissions, accelerating feedback loops, and undermining international climate commitments. The lack of regulatory oversight could lead to more severe weather events, ecosystem disruptions, and public health challenges, further complicating global efforts to address climate change.
