United States 2026
ایالات متحده
The United States enters 2027 as the country carrying the largest share of the world’s recorded disaster losses. North America accounted for US$133 billion of the US$224 billion in global natural-disaster losses in 2025, about 70% of it insured, led by the Los Angeles wildfires at about US$53 billion.

01 · Readings
United States in six readings.
Six readings that frame the baseline, and the eight questions this edition answers, each with its status and source.
02 · Sectors
Six sectors, one hexagon.
Water first, then Energy, Infrastructure, Food, Health and Biodiversity. Each count is the findings of this edition in that sector: coverage of the evidence, never a score. Infrastructure is not assessed: the edition holds no Infrastructure finding and its coupling matrix does not assess it.
- WATآب2 findings
322 bn gal/day Total freshwater and saline withdrawals, 2015. □گزارش‌شده
Ample in the East, tight in the West; Colorado River under کمبود; major aquifers depleting.
- ENEانرژی1 finding
4.4% Data centres’ share of US electricity, 2023. □گزارش‌شده
Gas-led power with growing renewables; reliability stressed in extremes; data-centre load rising.
- INFزیرساختnot assessed
Ageing grids, water سامانه‌ها and roads; critical functions defined nationally.
- FOOغذا1 finding
13.5% Households food insecure, 2023. □گزارش‌شده
A leading producer and exporter; 13.5% of households food insecure in 2023.
- HLTسلامت1 finding
2,325 deaths Heat-related deaths, 2023. □گزارش‌شده
Record heat deaths in 2023; smoke and storms load health services.
- BIOتنوع زیستی1 finding
40% Animal species at risk of extinction, 2023. □گزارش‌شده
About 40% of animal species at risk; آتش‌سوزی جنگلی and land use the fastest pressures.
Outside the six sectors: Climate forcing 3, Finance 2, Systemic 1.
03 · Hazard exposure
The hazards this edition reads.
The edition’s own risk objects, in its order, each read across driver, exposure, vulnerability, capacity, cascade and horizon. The hexagon marks the sectors the cascade reaches; the domain beside each is an editorial reading of its hazard words.

Under this scenario, results describe a conditional season under stated assumptions. It is not a forecast, and no intervention described here has been carried out.

04 · Couplings
How the sectors carry risk into each other.
The United States matrix types the twenty couplings between the five core سامانه‌ها. Strengths are Nexus estimates from the cited evidence and analogue events; they set the starting graph that the Q1 2027 Foundry cut will test.
| از | WAT | ENE | FOO | HLT | BIO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WAT | · | Strong | Strong | متوسط | Strong |
| ENE | متوسط | · | Strong | Strong | متوسط |
| FOO | متوسط | Weak | · | Strong | Strong |
| HLT | Weak | Weak | متوسط | · | Weak |
| BIO | Strong | متوسط | Strong | متوسط | · |
Water: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Energy: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Food: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Health: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Biodiversity: 4 couplings out, 4 in. Infrastructure is not in the coupling matrix: none of the edition matrices types it, so it carries no value.
