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.
