Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The recent actions by the Trump administration to revoke scientific findings that underpin climate regulations represent a severe setback in efforts to combat climate change. This policy reversal undermines the regulatory framework necessary to limit greenhouse gas emissions, potentially accelerating global warming and increasing the frequency and severity of extreme weather events. Additionally, it weakens international climate agreements and could lead to increased emissions from other countries, further compounding long-term planetary risks such as ecosystem collapse and feedback loops. The combination of these policy failures with ongoing extreme weather events, such as those influenced by ENSO patterns, underscores the urgent need for robust climate action.
