Knowledge and management of transnational climate change risks in selected countries
This report examines how transnational physical climate change risks are managed in a selection of European countries, in the EU and in the private sector in general. The report has been prepared by EY on behalf of the Norwegian Environment Agency, with the aim of providing an overview of current knowledge on transnational climate change risks in other countries and of how such risks are managed by central government, the business sector and other relevant actors. The report will provide input on how public and private actors in Norway can continue their work on transnational climate change risks.
The starting point for this study was the Norwegian report published by EY and the Norwegian Environment Agency in 2018 examining the consequences for Norway of transnational climate impacts (Utredning om konsekvenser for Norge av klimaendringer i andre land). This was the first Norwegian study of its kind, and it identifies ed specific risks and opportunities stemming from transnational climate impacts in different sectors and areas of society.
The report is not an evaluation of climate adaptation measures and strategies in other countries or business sectors, but a descriptive analysis of available information. In the literature review and in the interviews, EY has sought information that is relevant to the questions:
- What is the status of knowledge on transnational climate change risks?
- How are identified risks and opportunities managed?
