Transboundary climate risks (TCRs) cross national borders. They are associated with climate change impacts that propagate through different pathways to affect other countries and regions and result from climate change adaptations made in one or more countries having repercussions for others. These emerging climate risks are poorly studied, even though they could have significant impacts on a national scale. The Transboundary Climate Risks for the Island of Ireland (TCRII) project undertook a literature review and worked with stakeholders to identify approaches for the assessment of TCRs and synergies that can be leveraged on an all-island basis. The findings informed recommendations for better accounting for these emerging risks, to realise the national climate objective of achieving a climate-resilient economy and society by 2050.
