Transboundary climate risks are increasingly prominent on the research and policy agenda, yet actions to address these risks remain limited. This survey goes to a selected group of experts and policymakers from across the Nordic countries – spanning both the public and private sectors – to collect information about the implications of transboundary climate risks in the Nordic region.
 

Findings in this survey try to picture how transboundary climate risk could manifest and how we should handle this risk in the Nordic countries. The respondents are pointing to the supply chains, trade, food sector and energy sector to be very exposed to risk.
 

Main message on risk ownership is that the ones with the resources to do something to reduce the risk might not be the same group that need to cope with the risk. Responsibility to act might not reflect the resources and can prevent handling the risk.
