Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) shared the view that adaptation is indeed a global challenge. “We are all connected in one world,” said Thomas Lelkoitien, Deputy Director of Climate Change Adaptation at the Ministry of Environment and Forestry of Kenya, at a side event organized by the EU and Adaptation Without Borders at the EU Pavilion.
Other countries are also increasingly mentioning cross-border and cascading climate risk in their national adaptation plans, said Anne Hammill, Director of the NAP Global Network, emphasizing that “the messaging of Adaptation Without Borders is being picked up by countries.”

Traditionally, the trade policy community’s focus when developing responses to the climate crisis has been on climate mitigation. But Trade can also help governments adapt to the climate change impacts that they are already facing, while building their resilience and preparing for those impacts still to come. Four of the NAPs submitted by June 30, 2022, name trade and/or finance as a priority sector, according to the latest data from the NAP Global Network’s NAP Trends database. A 2021 report by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) sets out three overarching pathways where trade could support efforts at climate adaptation.
