This virtual roundtable will showcase stories and case studies of cross-border climate risks from regions around the world – cutting through their complexity and revealing their impacts in real terms – and distill the policy implications for national, regional and global actors.

Through a series of engaging short talks, this roundtable will showcase stories and case studies of cross-border climate risks from regions around the world – cutting through their complexity and revealing their impacts in real terms – and distill the policy implications for national, regional and global actors. Interventions will demonstrate how a step-change in regional and global cooperation on adaptation could better manage the impacts of these risks on our economies, environments and societies and maximise the co-benefits shared adaptation action could bring. Through a fast-paced and solutions-focused session, we’ll discuss the critical bottlenecks that are holding back progress to strengthen global resilience to these sorts of risks, and the solutions we need to implement across scales.
Project / CAScading Climate risks: towards ADaptive and resilient European Societies – an EU H2020 project assessing the interconnected impacts of climate change.
Initiative / The initiative explores implications of transboundary climate risks and strengthens cooperation to meet the global challenge of adaptation to climate change.
SEI report / A conceptual framework for describing and analyzing cross-border climate change impacts, presented at the EGU General Assembly 2021.
Feature / The coral reef in Varadero, Colombia, offers a striking lesson in resilience and is home to a SEI-led living lab.
Event on 20 June – 28 June / SEI colleagues are taking part in events at LCAW to highlight global leadership in industry and energy transitions, climate resilience finance, and adaptation.
