They comprise two sets of risk associated with:\n• The transboundary impacts of climate change.\n• The transboundary effects of adaptation – positive or negative – made by one or more countries that have repercussions for others. (AWB - transboundary climate risks: an overview) (Adaptation Without Borders, 2021).\n\nTransboundary risks are the products of borders and geography. Risks are transmitted from one region to another through flows between countries and systematic environmental processes such as downwind movement of air pollution, flows of water and fluctuating resources such as fisheries. These can result both from the effects of climate change dirctly, as well as adaptation or non-adaptation responses. The mechanisms of transmission of risk also have multiple direct and indirect pathways and cascade through complex socioeconomic–ecological systems (Challinor and Benton, 2017; Hedlund et al., 2018)." }, "historyNote": { "en": [ "Aall, C., Leander, E., Menk, L., Meyer, M., Dale, B., Lückerath, D., Nyadzi, E., Rome, E.,\nRudolf, F., Goosen, H., André, K.,Harris, K., Becker, L., Fulco, L., Benzie, M., Zebisch,\nM., Hanssen Korsbrekke, M., Jansen, M.K., Durmaz, N., Kienberger, S., Terzi, S., Lehr,\nU. & Gerger Swartling, Å.

Increasingly, however, authors have also begun to broaden the use of this phrase, referring also to climate risks across noncontiguous borders such as those transmitted through trade and supply chains (e.g., Benzie et al., 2019; Challinor et al., 2017; Koks et al., 2019).\n\nThe term \"transboundary\" is sometimes used interchangeably with \"transnational\". While “transboundary” implies a specific focus on the crossing of a border, “transnational” more clearly references the role of the nation state and often invokes the political scientific roots of the term to mean including at least one non-state actor (Risse-Kappen, 1995). Benzie et al. (2017) identified the same dichotomy and conducted a survey of adaptation experts, where respondents were asked how confusing or meaningful various terms were. Survey results suggested that the term “transboundary” was less confusing than “transnational,” but also potentially less accurate.\n\nEfforts to speak a common language on transboundary climate change risks have been hampered by the sheer diversity of terms in use (‘transnational’, ‘transboundary’, ‘telecoupling’, ‘teleconnected’, ‘cross-border’, ‘cascading’, ‘indirect’, ‘systemic’, ‘international’ to name a few) and the lack of an emerging lexicon that could be considered dominant (Benzie et al. 2016). But assessments have taken place of each terms’ relative merit vis-à-vis respective audiences and proposed definitions of ‘transboundary adaptation’ have enhanced conceptual clarity of the possible response mechanisms (Benzie et al. 2016, Nadin and Roberts 2018). \n\nAt least three distinct approaches to conceptualizing transboundary climate risks can be identified: (i) by the nature of the risk, such as the two categories proposed by the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures and adopted, for example, by Wei and Chase (2018); (ii) by the mode of transmission, such as the seven categories put forward by Carter et al. (2021), four mechanisms outlined by Challinor et al. (2018), four pathways conceptualized by Benzie et al. (2016), six classifications presented by Hilden et al. (2016) ´ , and eight teleconnections proposed by Moser and Hart (2015); and (iii) by what one might term the “public policy impact domain,” such as PwC’s\n(2013) five themes." ] }, "related": [ { "id": "http://connectivity-hub.com/terms/ad0f0538-f168-4c67-afce-dc9598155cde", "prefLabel": { "en": "Cascading impacts" } }, { "id": "http://connectivity-hub.com/terms/d2a7fbf1-00a0-40fb-b77a-7e4235e79067", "prefLabel": { "en": "Risk transfer" } }, { "id": "http://connectivity-hub.com/terms/18fd0d89-5857-4611-a9c2-cd1dab92307b", "prefLabel": { "en": "Transboundary adaptation" } }, { "id": "http://connectivity-hub.com/terms/8acea094-23da-483a-9340-9535b1d42623", "prefLabel": { "en": "Spill-over effect" } }, { "id": "http://connectivity-hub.com/terms/5fbad513-22fc-4d6c-b0b0-74345f1ca633", "prefLabel": { "en": "Cross-border impacts" } }, { "id": "http://connectivity-hub.com/terms/20bc2699-76a7-488b-99a1-9dafec796cea", "prefLabel": { "en": "Borderless climate risks" } }, { "id": "http://connectivity-hub.com/terms/8623623b-9f92-40b6-b001-a76ad336d38d", "prefLabel": { "en": "Teleconnection" } }, { "id": "http://connectivity-hub.com/terms/b0097e5c-a7f6-4eac-b087-a665df810256", "prefLabel": { "en": "Adaptation tipping points" } }, { "id": "http://connectivity-hub.com/terms/3ecedc41-8ac1-4736-93f4-a422ac2d9eb0", "prefLabel": { "en": "Transnational climate impacts" } }, { "id": "http://connectivity-hub.com/terms/5eaac414-08ae-4ac9-a135-4caa913addc2", "prefLabel": { "en": "Systemic climate risks" } } ], "inScheme": [ { "id": "http://connectivity-hub.com/terms/", "title": { "en": "Climate Connectivity Taxonomy" } } ], "inSchemeAll": [ { "id": "http://connectivity-hub.com/terms/" } ], "@context": { "@version": 1.1, "id": "@id", "type": "@type", "@vocab": "http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#", "xsd": "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#", "dct": "http://purl.org/dc/terms/", "dc": "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/", "schema": "https://schema.org/", "vann": "http://purl.org/vocab/vann/", "ldp": "http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#", "owl": "http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#", "title": { "@id": "dct:title", "@container": "@language" }, "dc:title": { "@id": "dc:title", "@container": "@language" }, "dc:description": { "@id": "dc:description", "@container": "@language" }, "description": { "@id": "dct:description", "@container": "@language" }, "license": { "@id": "dct:license", "@container": "@language" }, "issued": { "@id": "dct:issued", "@type": "xsd:date" }, "created": { "@id": "dct:created", "@type": "xsd:date" }, "modified": { "@id": "dct:modified", "@type": "xsd:date" }, "creator": "dct:creator", "publisher": "dct:publisher", "preferredNamespacePrefix": "vann:preferredNamespacePrefix", "preferredNamespaceUri": "vann:preferredNamespaceUri", "isBasedOn": "schema:isBasedOn", "source": "dct:source", "prefLabel": { "@container": "@language" }, "altLabel": { "@container": [ "@language", "@set" ] }, "hiddenLabel": { "@container": [ "@language", "@set" ] }, "definition": { "@container": "@language" }, "note": { "@container": [ "@language", "@set" ] }, "changeNote": { "@container": [ "@language", "@set" ] }, "editorialNote": { "@container": [ "@language", "@set" ] }, "historyNote": { "@container": [ "@language", "@set" ] }, "scopeNote": { "@container": [ "@language", "@set" ] }, "notation": { "@container": "@set" }, "example": { "@container": "@language" }, "narrower": { "@container": "@set" }, "related": { "@container": "@set" }, "relatedMatch": { "@container": "@set" }, "narrowerTransitive": { "@container": "@set" }, "broaderTransitive": { "@container": "@set" }, "broadMatch": { "@container": "@set" }, "narrowMatch": { "@container": "@set" }, "closeMatch": { "@container": "@set" }, "exactMatch": { "@container": "@set" }, "hasTopConcept": { "@container": "@set" }, "inScheme": { "@container": "@set" }, "topConceptOf": { "@container": "@set" }, "deprecated": { "@id": "owl:deprecated", "@type": "xsd:boolean" }, "isReplacedBy": { "@id": "dct:isReplacedBy", "@container": "@set" } } }
