Adaptation Without Borders launch flagship report on transboundary climate risks
The report presents new evidence on 10 transboundary climate risks of global significance. These risks impact critical sectors and regions, including water resources in high-mountain environments, fish stocks in the open ocean, industrial supply chains, energy, and global finance systems as well as human health, livelihoods, mobility patterns, and physical and mental well-being.
At this upcoming online webinar, the authors of Adaptation Without Border’s flagship report; Understanding transboundary climate risks: the need for global adaptation, will present key findings and discuss policy implications related to systemic risks in terrestrial resources, energy, finance and livelihoods. The webinar will also address the need for global cooperation on adaptation.
The webinar is organized by SEI, IDDRI and ODI on behalf of Adaptation Without Borders, a partnership to strengthen international cooperation on adaptation to manage the cross-border and cascading impacts of climate change.

The online webinar will take place on Zoom on 20 April 11:00—13:00 CEST. After the presentations, there will be a general Q&A session from 12:40. For scheduling individual interviews with the speakers, contact the press officers at IDDRI, ODI and SEI (see further information).
