Brief – Home Publications European responses to transboundary climate impacts and insecurity

This brief assesses to what extent climate security and transboundary climate impacts feature in key European policies and strategies. It recognises that these are considerably well integrated, but a gap remains between rhetoric and effective action on the group. The paper concludes with concrete policy recommendations for the EU to build greater resilience in the MENA region and the Sahel, in the face of transboundary climate impacts that escalate via security relations.
