Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

Recent developments indicate a significant shift in nuclear policy, with the U.S. considering resuming nuclear weapons testing after a 30-year hiatus, which could provoke similar actions from other nuclear-armed states like Russia and China. This move undermines decades of arms control efforts and could lead to a new arms race, increasing the risk of miscalculation and escalation. Additionally, the breakdown of communication channels and the modernization of nuclear arsenals further exacerbate the risk of nuclear conflict in a volatile geopolitical environment.
