Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The current nuclear threat level is elevated due to several factors: the completion of the B61-13 nuclear bomb production, discussions around European tactical nuclear weapons, and Iran's resumed activities at a suspected nuclear site. These developments occur in a context of deteriorating arms control agreements and modernization of nuclear arsenals, which collectively increase the risk of miscalculation or escalation. Additionally, geopolitical tensions, particularly involving NATO, Russia, and China, further exacerbate the risk of nuclear confrontation, while communication channels remain limited.
