Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

Recent reports indicate that human-induced climate change is intensifying the effects of El Niño, leading to more severe weather events globally. This is evidenced by catastrophic floods in Nepal and predictions of the strongest El Niño on record. Such events highlight the immediate threat of extreme weather and the potential for long-term disruptions to ecosystems and food security. Additionally, the failure to meet climate targets and the potential overshoot of the 1.5°C warming threshold further exacerbate these risks. The combination of immediate disasters and long-term systemic failures underscores a high climate risk level.
