The dashboard also includes new risk commentaries on nature, society and economics, as well as historical data from 1990 to 2025, showing how risk profiles have deteriorated over time as a result of improved climate slow behavior and knowledge of these impacts.
A member of the IFOA Council and lead collaborator on the planet’s Solvency Risk Dashboard said:
The worst case
“If implemented, this risk-driven methodology provides policymakers with clear tools to avoid the devastating effects they can experience if they do not change courses, thereby supporting future prosperity.”
Professor Tim Renton of the Institute of Global Systems at Exeter University said:
“We hope this is a periodically set up resource that decision makers can rely on. It helps us all see the urgency of the situation and encourage action to gain humanity on a more sustainable path.”
Dr. Jesse Abrams of the University of Exeter Green Futures Solutions Team added: “Since we released the Planet Solvency Report two months ago, global events only strengthen the planet’s trajectory against the devastating effects that threaten the prosperity of nature, society and economy.
“At the same time, extreme weather events have occurred earlier than planned, greater severity, and more frequently than most scientific predictions for just a few years. This is important to implement policies that explain the expected risks until clear evidence suggests that the impact of these worst-case cases is being avoided.”
