Climate Change

The current climate risk is elevated by several converging factors: extreme heatwaves in Europe and the U.S. are made significantly worse by climate change, as confirmed by scientific studies. The impending strong El Niño is expected to further increase global temperatures, compounding the effects of existing heatwaves and leading to more frequent and severe weather events. Additionally, policy setbacks, such as the removal of climate change signs in national parks, highlight ongoing challenges in addressing climate change effectively. These factors, combined with the long-term threats of ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss, underscore a high-risk climate scenario.
