Initiative / The initiative explores implications of transboundary climate risks and strengthens cooperation to meet the global challenge of adaptation to climate change.
Past event / Join us on 11 June 2022 to discuss what "ambition" means in the context of adapting to climate risks that cross borders and cascade across sectors.
Perspective / Despite the rhetoric of the "global" goal, adaptation to climate change is still seen as a domestic issue. That undersells the vision of the Paris Agreement.
SEI brief / Climate finance for adaptation in Africa falls short in five ways outlined in this fact sheet based on a Climate Policy journal article.
