Assessing Transboundary Climate Risks under UNFCCC GST

The document identifies a 'transboundary gap' in the UNFCCC Global Stocktake (GST), noting that the mechanism currently fails to systematically track global progress in building resilience to transboundary climate risks. Drawing on The Global Transboundary Climate Risk Report and expert interviews, the brief examines the scientific, technical, political, and procedural barriers to integration and suggests proposals to address these gaps by the second GST.

• Transboundary climate risks are currently absent from the UNFCCC Global Stocktake (GST), which is the main international tool for tracking progress toward Paris Agreement goals, including adaptation.
• There are scientific, technical, political, and procedural obstacles that prevent the systematic tracking of global progress in building resilience to transboundary risks within the GST process.
