Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

Recent studies indicate that global warming has been accelerating since 2015, with the potential to surpass the critical 1.5°C threshold before 2030. This acceleration increases the likelihood of extreme weather events, such as heatwaves and droughts, and exacerbates existing climate-related challenges like ecosystem collapse and food security issues. The rapid pace of warming underscores the urgency for effective policy interventions and adaptation strategies to mitigate these impacts. Additionally, the increased frequency of extreme weather events, such as tornadoes and floods, further highlights the immediate risks posed by climate change.
