TCR and Adaptation in Mountain Areas

This policy brief, produced by the Stockholm Environment Institute in collaboration with Adaptation without Borders and Adaptation at Altitude, identifies opportunities for UNFCCC Parties and Observers to integrate transboundary climate impacts and mountain area adaptation into international climate negotiations, specifically targeting COP29 and subsequent conferences.

• The brief identifies five specific UNFCCC negotiation tracks as appropriate entry points for addressing transboundary climate risks and the adaptation needs of mountain areas: the Global Stocktake, the Global Goal on Adaptation, Finance, Planning and reporting, and Loss and Damage.
• Transboundary climate impacts and the resulting risks, which affect areas both within and outside of mountain regions, are becoming an increasing point of concern within international climate change negotiations and are relevant to the adaptation requirements of all nations.
• The document encourages UNFCCC negotiators to utilize the upcoming COP29 and future conferences to advocate for the specific needs of their countries and enhance regional climate resilience, noting that various groups are already prioritizing transboundary climate risks and developing common positions.
