Governing Transboundary Climate Risks
The global effects of climate change require solutions beyond the adaptation efforts of any single actor. Managing transboundary climate risks will require collaborative approaches that cross borders, where actors engage with one another to identify shared risks and potential opportunities. This category explores avenues to enhance regional and global adaptation efforts to better manage and address transboundary climate risks.

This policy brief highlights efforts to develop indicators capturing transboundary and cascading climate risks for inclusion in the UAE–Belém Work Programme, emphasizing regional and international cooperation to strengthen adaptation strategies for Least Developed Countries.
Transboundary climate risks and adaptation in mountain areas: a brief for Parties and Observers to the UNFCCC
This brief highlights why it is crucial for transboundary climate risks and mountain areas to be accounted for across different negotiation tracks. It also lays out concrete recommendations for UNFCCC Parties and Observers on the road to COP29 and beyond.
Tackling transboundary climate risks in the Middle East and North Africa
This brief highlights transboundary climate risks in the MENA region and why countries struggle to invest in systemic resilience. It evaluates adaptation finance, noting the limitations of European support, and offers recommendations for MENA policymakers, including increasing adaptation finance and decentralizing governance for better resilience.
From policy to action: Strengthening global efforts to tackle transboundary climate risks
As the climate crisis intensifies, transboundary climate risks (TCRs) are becoming more urgent, and this blog explores how global and national policies must evolve to integrate these risks into climate adaptation strategies.
