Cross-border climate change impacts and systemic risks in Europe and beyond

Cross-border climate impacts and systemic risks in Europe and beyond
16-18 October 2023
Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research A56
Potsdam, Germany

Climate impacts in one location that propagate to other locations through trade and value chains, development and security policies, and financial systems, may have disrupting effects similar to the COVID-19 pandemic and the war on Ukraine. These effects are not easily represented in traditional analysis frameworks and need to be embedded in the wider context of social vulnerability and climate change. The conference aims to bring together scientists across disciplines that work on approaches to better understand and respond/adapt to cross-border climate impacts and risks. The conference also seeks to identify knowledge gaps and directions for future research. Research presented in the conference will highlight what needs arise from a consideration of cross-border climate impacts, how to design research that is actionable for decision-making or how to improve the monitoring of risks.

The conference will take place at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. Selected sessions will be available online as well.
