Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

Recent developments indicate a significant increase in nuclear risk factors, including discussions about resuming nuclear tests by the U.S., potential proliferation involving Iran and Russia, and heightened tensions between China and the U.S. These factors are compounded by the breakdown of traditional arms control treaties and modernization efforts by nuclear states, which destabilize the global strategic balance. The lack of effective communication channels and emerging technologies further exacerbate the risk of miscalculation and escalation.
