Entry points for integrating transboundary climate risks

This briefing paper by the Stockholm Environment Institute discusses the need to integrate transboundary climate risks into the framework for the global goal on adaptation (GGA), which was scheduled for adoption at COP28 in December 2023.

• While the Paris Agreement identifies adaptation as a global challenge requiring international cooperation to support vulnerable communities, the COP26 decision fails to mention transboundary climate risks despite growing recognition of them as a serious concern.
• The framework for the global goal on adaptation (GGA), due for adoption at COP28 in Dubai in December 2023, is viewed as an opportunity to incorporate the complexity of climate risks that countries must manage simultaneously across local, national, regional, and global levels.
• The briefing paper analyzes various options for integrating transboundary climate risks into the GGA framework, considering the adaptation cycle stages and framework themes while acknowledging the differing priorities of various Parties and negotiating groups.
