Climate Change

The current climate risk is elevated by several critical factors: the Amazon rainforest approaching a tipping point at 1.9°C of global warming, which could lead to irreversible ecological damage and loss of biodiversity; the rise in extreme weather events such as wildfires and hurricanes, which are becoming more frequent and intense; and the health impacts, including the spread of diseases like hantavirus and malaria, which are being exacerbated by changing climate conditions. These issues are compounded by ongoing deforestation, pollution, and insufficient policy responses, which together contribute to a high-risk scenario for both immediate and long-term climate impacts.
