Risk Drivers
What is pushing the current reading.
Recent reports indicate a concerning acceleration in global warming rates since 2015, which exacerbates the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as tornadoes and floods. The retreat of glaciers in Austria and the destabilization of the Himalayas underscore the severe impact on critical ecosystems. Additionally, the increasing length of Earth's days, attributed to climate change, suggests profound and complex planetary changes. These developments, coupled with policy gaps and insufficient global action, elevate the climate threat to a high-risk level.
