Identifying Transboundary Climate Risks
In a world connected as never before, climate change risk assessments need to better account for our global interdependencies. This category brings together work relevant to understanding the complex nature of transboundary climate risks. Publications provide insight into how transboundary climate risks manifest, how they are transmitted, and how they might be identified, assessed and tracked.
The collective advantage: Understanding transboundary climate risks in Southeast Asia and charting a path forward
This shared perspective between Boston Consulting Group and Adaptation Without Borders explores examples of transboundary climate risks in Southeast Asia and concrete steps that can be taken to foster and strengthen collective action and build resilience against climate risks.
New risk horizons: Sweden’s exposure to climate risk via international trade
Learn about Sweden's place in the global trade system in this SEI report. The study applies innovative multi-method approaches to identify and assess transboundary climate risks facing Sweden via its international trade links.
Nordic perspectives on transboundary climate risk
Explore the cross-border risks faced by Nordic countries, the extent to which they are already recognised, and possible ways to respond to them in this report. The analysis draws on a literature review, an analysis of trade data, and interviews with stakeholders from national authorities, industry and research institutions.
Rising to a New Challenge: A Protocol for Case-Study Research on Transboundary Climate Risk
This work aims to demonstrate why the transboundary nature of climate risk requires a distinct analytical approach and proposes a seven-step guide that aims to facilitate the exploration of transboundary climate risk through case-study-based research for adaptation.
How corn links Jamaica’s food supply to climate change in the US Midwest
This case study explores how Jamaica’s deep dependency on US maize affects both its economy and food security in a changing climate.

In this case study, explore how glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) affect the countries in the Hindu Kush Himalayas.
The transboundary implications of climate-related coastal migration: state of knowledge, factors of influence and policy pathways
This publication explores the transboundary implications of climate-related coastal migration and identifies the key policy pillars to facilitate adaptation and resilience in this context.
CASCADES’ Conceptual Framework of cascading climate impacts
This publication presents a conceptual framework and accompanying terminology developed by the CASCADES project to help describe and analyse cross-border climate impacts and inform adaptation policies.
Climate impact induced crisis in Europe: an exploration of scenarios
This report examines six scenarios of climate impacts that can trigger social, political, economic or financial crises in Europe in the next decade.
Inescapably intertwined: the reality of globalisation and borderless climate risks
Climate adaptation efforts are unlikely to succeed if done in geographic isolation. The Transnational Climate Impacts Index examines country exposure to climate change from an international view.
