Quantifying Transnational Climate Impact Exposure

The research paper introduces a global index designed to quantify exposure to transnational climate impacts, arguing that traditional vulnerability indices fail to account for cross-border effects and global interconnections.

• Traditional climate change adaptation indicators typically rely on national or local vulnerability estimates and ignore global interconnections and cross-border effects.
• The authors developed a global index of exposure to transnational climate impacts that combines traditional vulnerability indicators with spatially-explicit teleconnections between countries to approximate global exposure distribution.
• While internal climate risks correlate strongly with geography and economic development, exposure to transnational climate impacts is more complex and cannot be explained by those two factors alone, necessitating a multidimensional and cross-scale approach to risk assessment.
