"This report funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers highlights how indirect, cross-border climate risks, known as transboundary climate risks, impact the Nordic countries – and what governments can do to advance action to adapt to these risks.
Climate change is projected to have devastating impacts on people and ecosystems if the world does not reach the goals set in the Paris Agreement – and significant impacts even if it does. Traditionally the focus in public discussions and policy has been on direct climate impacts such as extreme weather events.
However, there is a growing recognition that many of the more serious impacts may be indirect, cascading and cross-border. This is especially the case in Nordic countries that are both less vulnerable to direct impacts and more exposed to international connections than many other countries."
