Risk Drivers
What is pushing the current reading.
The dismantling of climate monitoring systems, along with studies indicating human activities pushing global warming to 1.37°C by 2025, highlight significant near-term and long-term risks. The increase in coastal flood risks and the movement of marine life due to warming waters underscore the immediate impacts of climate change. Additionally, the political and policy challenges, such as the exclusion of Indigenous voices and the dismantling of monitoring systems, exacerbate the risk by hindering effective climate action. These factors collectively contribute to a high climate threat level, as they indicate both immediate environmental changes and systemic barriers to addressing climate change effectively.
