Nordic Perspectives on Transboundary Climate Risk

The report examines transboundary climate risks—indirect, cascading, and cross-border impacts—and their specific relevance to the Nordic region, which is highly exposed to international connections. It suggests that building resilience requires deepened cooperation between Nordic governments, businesses, and international stakeholders to address risks such as food price volatility, supply chain disruptions, and forced migration.

• Nordic countries are particularly exposed to transboundary climate risks because they are less vulnerable to direct climate impacts but more reliant on international connections than many other nations.
• Transboundary climate risks manifest as indirect and cascading effects, such as crop failure in one country increasing food prices in another, industrial damage affecting global production of electronics or vehicles, or climate-driven unrest leading to forced migration.
• Addressing these risks requires a combination of deepened cooperation among Nordic governments and broad collaboration with businesses and international stakeholders.
