Towards a Global Adaptation Progress Tracker
This paper proposes to measure adaptation progress directly at the global level through the development of new indicators and using new technologies - the Global Adaptation Progress Tracker.
Inescapably intertwined: the reality of globalisation and borderless climate risks
Climate adaptation efforts are unlikely to succeed if done in geographic isolation. The Transnational Climate Impacts Index examines country exposure to climate change from an international view.
Climate adaptation must be reframed from a local issue to a global responsibility
This brief provides several recommendations on how the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) could encourage better accounting of transboundary climate risk.
Adaptation without borders? Preparing for indirect climate change impacts
A SEI project produced resources that highlight the need to look beyond national boundaries in adaptation planning, and explain how policy-makers can start identifying indirect climate risks.
Resilience building at risk? Five key insights for addressing borderless climate risks
Can borderless climate risks be addressed in the follow-up of the Paris Agreement’s global goal on adaptation?
Global adaptation governance: An emerging but contested domain
This review article asks: to what extent does global governance of climate change adaptation exist?
Governing borderless climate risks
This article looks at the paradoxes, challenges and opportunities in trying to govern often borderless climate risks through national or local adaptation policy.
Transparency and sustainability in global commodity supply chains
This research assesses the types of supply chain information that are needed to support improvements in sustainability governance.
Quantifying transnational climate impact exposure
This research develops a global index of exposure to transnational climate impacts.
Webinar: Meeting the global challenge of adaptation by addressing transboundary climate risk
This webinar focuses on the importance to adopt a transboundary view of climate risk, which explicitly recognizes the interconnections between people, ecosystems and economies in a globalized world.
Meeting the global challenge of adaptation by addressing transboundary climate risk
This brief from SEI, IDDRI and ODI finds that a transboundary view of climate risk creates opportunities for international cooperation on adaptation.
Transnational climate change impacts: An entry point to enhanced global cooperation on adaptation?
This brief explains how SEI developed indicators of transnational climate change impacts and discusses some of the implications for national adaptation planning and global cooperation on adaptation.
Water and Climate Diplomacy
Climate change will impact water flows, including in unstable regions. adelphi sheds light on how the international community can best combine climate and water diplomacy to tackle the challenges.
The Transnational Climate Impacts Index: Methodology Report
This paper introduces a new framework for examining climate change impacts and adaptation needs from an international perspective.
Reducing vulnerability to food price shocks in a changing climate
This brief explores the impacts of food price shocks in a changing climate.
National Adaptation Plans and the indirect impacts of climate change
This brief supports countries to take stock of the “indirect impacts” of climate change and to address them in their National Adaptation Plan.
