Adaptation without borders: Strengthening cooperation to manage cross border climate risks
EU Pavilion at COP27, Sharm el-Sheikh
In our globalized world, the impacts of climate change in one place can create risks in another. As the EU strategy on adaptation makes clear, these impacts “have knock-on effects across borders and continents… even local climate impacts have regional or global repercussions”.
This event will explore the implications of cross-border risks for adaptation planning at national, regional and global scales, calling for cross-country engagement and exchanges on adaptation to international climate risks.
