Risk Drivers
What is pushing the current reading.
The current climate threat level is elevated by several factors: the rollback of greenhouse gas standards and other climate policies in the U.S. undermines global efforts to mitigate climate change, potentially leading to increased emissions and exacerbating global warming. The frequency of billion-dollar disasters has risen significantly, indicating more frequent and severe climate-related events. Additionally, the warming of Antarctica and the potential for mineral resource exploitation present new geopolitical and environmental challenges. These developments suggest a trajectory towards more severe climate impacts and policy failures, increasing both near-term and long-term risks.
