Description

"For this risk, the designation of a hazard and event is less straightforward, primarily because it is a second-order effect. Unlike other hazards that can be neutral, a destabilized geopolitical environment is inherently undesirable. Furthermore, the mechanism for hazard release is difficult to predict, as minor unexpected triggers can rapidly escalate into larger events."
