The future of human society is facing many risks. For environmental risks, the scientific community has concluded six highest risks, including: 1. the occurrence of extreme weather and climate events; 2. the failure of human actions to mitigate and adapt to climate change; 3. the widespread collapse of biodiversity and biological systems; 4. water and food supply shortages continue to increase; 5. wide-ranging natural disasters, such as rapid sea level rise and rapid melting of polar sea ice; 6. environmental disasters and damage caused by humans, including persistent air and water pollution. Each of these risks is closely or directly linked to climate change, so climate change is a core risk.
