The impacts of climate change materialize in different ways and are varying magnitudes at locations around the world. Adaptation is a global policy challenge because some those propagate across borders. presence borders influences responses that may aim preventing, alleviating, or exploiting impacts. Yet dynamics to cross-border have not been explored research on coherence. We extend analysis coherence integration cover adaptation policies enacted but interacting geographical locations,...
Abstract The sustainable development goals (SDGs) constitute an ambitious comprehensive global framework including monitoring mechanisms and indicators to evaluate progress towards precise targets of development. Most European countries have adapted their national sustainability indicator systems conform the UN Agenda 2030 for development, introducing new frameworks governance processes in which these are embedded. What do we know about political struggles implementing this important...
Abstract The Arctic has warmed almost four times faster than the rest of globe during past decades. This led to multiple impacts in such as melting glaciers and Greenland ice sheet, sea retreat, permafrost thaw, altered species distribution abundance, changes hydrology snow conditions, wildfire regimes. These documented projected region can also propagate across borders, creating risks opportunities requiring adaptation responses well beyond Arctic. By undertaking a systematic literature...
<title>Abstract</title> In an interconnected world, climate change impacts can cascade across sectors and regions, creating systemic risks. We analyze cascading on the EU27, originating from outside identify critical intervention points for adaptation. Using network analysis, we develop archetypal impact model synthesizing stakeholder-co-produced chains quantitative data diverse sectors, integrating insights foreign policy, trade, human security, finance 102 non-EU countries. Key nodes –...
Progressing climate change is causing a growing need for policy domains to adapt its effects. Especially cross-border impacts of are only beginning be recognised in trade and finance. Through qualitative analysis 15 semi-structured interviews 30 documents reports, we examine adaptation integration coherence the European Union. Specifically, investigate how actors finance recognise needs whether progress being made. Our findings show that there has been mostly at level objectives informal...
From the local to global level, indicators and reports are produced published support transition towards sustainable development. Building from two European-level science-policy workshops, this perspective essay discusses types of risks involved with such sustainability reporting. The analysis is rooted in framework UN 2030 Agenda development goals (SDG). As a globally adopted framework, it provides an example how either recognised framed, or non-recognised. Well include data availability...
