Climate risks affect neighbouring countries through shared ecosystems or infrastructure and can cross continents and oceans. Transboundary climate risks include food and water shortages, threats to trade and energy supplies, widening inequalities, forced migrations and geopolitical conflicts. At last year’s UN Climate Change Conference, Parties recognized that climate change impacts are often transboundary and involve complex, cascading risks that require knowledge-sharing and international cooperation.

We invite you to join a high-level event with a group of regional representatives to discuss what this means in practice, the materiality of these risks and how we can build resilience in vulnerable regions affected by this global challenge.
