Progress on climate change adaptation is uneven and slow, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). More ambition is needed to accelerate and sustain adaptation. The IPCC also stressed that climate risks are increasingly complex and difficult to manage as they interact and cascade across sectors, regions and borders.
This panel will discuss what “ambition” on climate adaptation means in the face of systemic and cascading climate risks.

Discussants:
The event convened by the Adaptation Without Borders initiative takes place on Saturday 11 June 18:30–20:00 at the World Conference Center Bonn (Room Berlin), during the Bonn Climate Change Conference. It is also live streamed.
Initiative / The initiative explores implications of transboundary climate risks and strengthens cooperation to meet the global challenge of adaptation to climate change.
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.
Perspective / Leadership and action on transboundary and cascading climate risks are urgently needed, and the latest analysis shows what this means to climate diplomacy.
Feature / Our stories take a closer look at how transboundary climate risks are triggered, how they spread across borders and what that means for climate adaptation.
