Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The current nuclear threat level is elevated due to renewed discussions about nuclear weapons testing by both the US and Russia, with potential for reciprocal actions that could destabilize global nuclear deterrence. Historical context shows that testing moratoriums have been a cornerstone of nuclear non-proliferation efforts, and their breakdown could lead to an arms race and increased risk of miscalculation. Additionally, modernization of arsenals and shifting doctrines further complicate the strategic environment, while reduced communication channels increase the risk of escalation during crises.
