Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The convergence of extreme weather events, such as the active tornado season and cyclone-induced landslides, alongside significant ecosystem disruptions like the near extinction of iconic bird species, underscores the immediate and severe impacts of climate change. Additionally, the reduction in mountain snowpack and the increasing frequency of wildfires highlight the ongoing feedback loops that exacerbate climate risks. Policy challenges, including the rollback of net-zero commitments and inadequate climate action, further compound these risks, threatening long-term resilience and adaptation efforts.
