Developing guidance on managing transboundary climate risks in adaptation and sectoral planning

This document is a concept note presenting a process for moving from prototype to fully operational (and widely deployed) guidance on mainstreaming TCARs within policy and practice that is in line with, and in support of, existing UNFCCC NAP, Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and long-term strategies (LTS) guidance. 

This note concludes that with an emerging evidence base for TCARs, and the increased awareness of policy gaps across critical sectors to address and manage them, the need for guidance across the full risk management cycle is critical (from assessment, to management mechanisms, to monitoring and evaluation).
