This webinar, co-hosted by TERI and the World Adaptation Science Programme, explores transboundary climate risks, research gaps and the challenges for policy and global governance. Discussions will revolve around the need for, and benefits of, greater international collaboration on adaptation.
We live in an interconnected world where the impacts of climate change in one country can have knock-on impacts on others. International trade, financial flows, movements of people and shared natural resources can all spread such effects, while the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the speed and severity that risk propagates throughout our globalized economy.
Adaptation science should support the policy community to adopt a transboundary lens to better manage the systemic nature of climate risk. And given that adaptation is not necessarily benign – it can redistribute vulnerability and create or magnify risk for others, especially across borders – we also need to apply a global outlook to our adaptation plans and actions.
This webinar will explore what transboundary climate risks are, the gaps in research agendas, and the implications for adaptation programming, policy and global governance. Discussions will revolve around why we need greater international collaboration on adaptation and the benefits this could realize.
This webinar is part of the WASP Science Policy Brief series convened to support researchers, policymakers and practitioners to further their knowledge and capacity and underpin effective adaptation to climate change. It is supported by Adaptation Without Borders, CASCADES, Mistra Geopolitics and Stockholm Environment Institute, and is co-hosted by TERI and World Adaptation Science Programme.
