Unknown / Black Swan

Today's most significant Black Swan risk arises from Iran's decision to impose a nationwide digital blackout, viewing the internet as an existential threat. This move could lead to unforeseen geopolitical consequences, including increased internal unrest and regional instability, as it may exacerbate tensions both within Iran and with other nations. The blackout could disrupt communication, hinder economic activities, and provoke international responses, potentially leading to a cascade of unpredictable events. Additionally, the situation in the Arctic, with fires on the rise, poses an environmental risk that could have broader implications for global climate patterns and geopolitical dynamics in the region.
