Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The current news highlights several pressing climate issues, including the exacerbation of droughts leading to antibiotic-resistant superbugs, the rapid sinking of Jakarta due to climate change and overdevelopment, and the disproportionate impact of climate change on poorer countries. Additionally, Europe is warming at twice the global average, and significant litigation challenges against major polluters are being dismissed, indicating systemic policy failures. These factors, combined with the potential for extreme climate outcomes even at moderate warming levels, underscore a high-risk scenario for both near-term and long-term climate impacts.
