Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The recent actions by the Trump administration, including the revocation of key climate regulations and the undermining of scientific findings that support climate policy, significantly exacerbate the global climate crisis. These policy reversals not only hinder the U.S.'s ability to combat climate change but also set a negative precedent internationally, potentially encouraging other nations to relax their climate commitments. This comes at a time when scientists warn of entering an unprecedented stage of climate change, risking irreversible 'hothouse' conditions. The combination of policy failures and increasing emissions from sectors like agriculture further accelerates the risk of extreme weather events, ecosystem collapse, and long-term planetary instability.
