Risk Drivers
What is pushing the current reading.
Recent findings show a concerning acceleration in global warming, with the pace nearly doubling since 2015, leading to more frequent and severe heat and drought conditions. This exacerbates existing climate-related challenges such as anxiety and depression, as well as the potential sinking of entire island nations like Polynesia. While some positive developments like improved EV battery technology and cultural heritage protection plans are underway, they are insufficient to counterbalance the rapid environmental changes and their cascading impacts on ecosystems and human societies.
Risk Reduction Actions
