New risk horizons: Sweden’s exposure to climate risk via international trade
This study focuses on Sweden and its place in the global trade system. The objective was to develop innovative multi-method approaches to identify and assess transboundary climate risks facing Sweden via its international trade links.
In light of the transboundary risks identified in this study, the researchers offer the following recommendations to Sweden-based actors:
- Initiate dialogues on adaptation to transboundary climate risk with economic sectors in Sweden
- Focus on transboundary climate risk in the next iteration of the National Adaptation Strategy
- Expand the remit of the Swedish National Knowledge Centre for Climate Change Adaptation to address transboundary climate risk
- Engage in climate diplomacy to build systemic resilience to transboundary and systemic climate risk
