Loss and damage and transboundary adaptation in the context of climate change
June 22, 2023
Climate change impacts countries around the world. The impacts of extreme weather events and slow-onset processes are felt from the local to the national level as they affect lives, livelihoods, ecosystems, and economic sectors. However, at the core, climate change is a global challenge that goes across and beyond national borders. While no country is immune against transboundary climate impacts and the resulting loss and damage, developing countries are often particularly vulnerable to unexpected shocks or scarcity.
