Assessing Transboundary Climate Risks under UNFCCC GST

This policy brief argues that transboundary climate risks are currently missing from the UNFCCC Global Stocktake (GST) and proposes addressing this gap to improve the tracking of global progress toward Paris Agreement adaptation goals.

• Transboundary climate risks are not currently included in the UNFCCC Global Stocktake (GST), creating a gap in the systematic tracking of global progress toward the Paris Agreement's goals, specifically regarding adaptation.
• The brief utilizes insights from The Global Transboundary Climate Risk Report and expert interviews to identify scientific, technical, political, and procedural barriers that prevent the inclusion of transboundary climate risks in the GST.
• The document proposes measures to overcome existing barriers to ensure the second GST, occurring in five years, addresses the "transboundary gap" and improves international cooperation for climate action in the interim.
