Adaptation is traditionally implemented at national and subnational levels. However, climate risks are in many cases “borderless” in nature. Climate change in one country will create risks and opportunities – and therefore may require adaptation – in other countries. This global aspect of adaptation is still undervalued also in international negotiations.

The webinar focuses on the importance to adopt a transboundary view of climate risk, which explicitly recognizes the interconnections between people, ecosystems and economies in a globalized world. Global negotiations on climate change have a key role to play in adopting and implementing a transboundary framing of climate risk, though other non-climate conventions and processes can play important roles as well.

A recording of the webinar is available (see below) and the presentation slides can be downloaded here.
