Transboundary climate risks: A cross-regional analysis

Climate change does not respect borders, so why should climate adaptation? Tristan Norman, Adèle Tanguy, Sarah Opitz-Stapleton, Katy Harris, Hanne Knaepen and Christophe Buffet argue that climate impacts can spread across countries, creating risks that are often overlooked. These cross-border effects can disrupt economies, societies and ecosystems. The authors highlight the need to better understand these interconnected risks. They also propose stronger cooperation and multi-country adaptation projects. The message is clear: adapting to climate change requires countries to act together.
