Transboundary Adaptive Management to Reduce Climate Change Vulnerability in the Western U.S.-Mexico Border Region

The research analyzes a decade-long initiative in the Arizona-Sonora border region, demonstrating that transboundary adaptive management is enhanced through binational collaboration, the involvement of multiple institutions, and the creation of accessible information tools for water-resources managers.

• Transboundary adaptive management is strengthened by several factors, including binationality, the involvement of multiple institutions in both countries, the development of accessible information tools, and the continuity of effort over time.
• The research initiative utilized academic institutions as boundary organizations to connect climate scientists with public and private-sector stakeholders to improve adaptive-water-management capacity across the U.S.-Mexico border.
