Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The announcement of potential U.S. nuclear weapons testing marks a significant departure from decades of nuclear non-proliferation efforts and could undermine existing international arms control agreements. This development, coupled with ongoing modernization of nuclear arsenals by major powers and the breakdown of key treaties like the INF Treaty, contributes to an increasingly unstable global nuclear environment. The lack of clear communication channels and the potential for misinterpretation or miscalculation further elevate the risk of nuclear conflict.
