Paris
Nov 12, 2024
Paris’s score increased by 4 points. The city's risk profile reflects a 3% improvement in government risk and a 3% reduction in conflict risk, signaling progress in political and social stability. However, a 5% increase in food-related risk points to growing challenges in agricultural supply chains and rising costs. Climate, health, and water risks remain unchanged.
Recent events contributing to this profile include:
Energy Poverty: Despite a slowdown in inflation, energy poverty continues to affect vulnerable households across France, exacerbating economic inequality and putting pressure on resources.
Agricultural Protests: Farmers have announced new blockades to protest rising costs and insufficient government support, further straining food supply chains and elevating food-related risk.
Weather Shifts: Shifting weather patterns have brought snow to the French mountains, causing colder temperatures and transportation challenges, which could have downstream effects on infrastructure and supply logistics impacting Paris.
These developments highlight a mixed risk landscape for Paris, with positive trends in governance and conflict management but heightened food-related risks due to economic and agricultural pressures.
