SEI researchers and co-authors presented a conceptual framework and accompanying terminology for describing and analyzing cross-border climate change impacts at the EGU General Assembly 2021.
Most studies of climate change impacts, adaptation and vulnerability confine their attention to impacts and responses within the same geographical region. However, cross-border climate change impacts that occur remotely from the location of their initial impact can severely disrupt societies and livelihoods.
The conceptual framework presented here distinguishes an initial impact that is caused by a climate trigger within a specific region. Downstream consequences of that impact propagate through an impact transmission system while adaptation responses to deal with the impact are propagated through a response transmission system.
This paper was presented at the EGU General Assembly 2021 held from 19–30 April 2021.
