Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The global nuclear threat is heightened by recent developments such as Finland's consideration to lift its ban on nuclear weapons, which has sparked warnings from Russia, and ongoing tensions with Iran over its nuclear program. These developments occur in a broader context of deteriorating arms control frameworks, modernization of nuclear arsenals, and evolving military doctrines that emphasize nuclear capabilities. The lack of effective communication channels and diplomatic engagement further exacerbates the risk of miscalculation or unintended escalation, making the current environment more precarious compared to previous periods of relative stability.
