Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The blocking of Minnesota's climate lawsuit against oil companies highlights significant policy and legal challenges in addressing climate change, while the World Bank's projection of a potential 8.3% GDP loss for Malaysia by 2050 underscores the severe economic risks posed by climate change. Additionally, the threat to Tanzania's blue economy and the amplification of ocean pollution due to climate change demonstrate the widespread environmental and economic impacts. These issues, coupled with the increasing frequency of extreme weather events and the potential for feedback loops such as rising seas unlocking carbon, indicate a high level of climate risk.
