Climate Adaptation in a Broad Perspective: Long-term impacts on food supply, urban life, river transport, and ecology (Background Paper)

This CCICED Background Paper on “Climate Adaptation in a Broad Perspective”, which complements our Scoping Study on the same topic, highlights the urgent need for governments and communities to build resilience against the lasting impacts of climate change—including the long-term challenges posed to food production, urban life, ecology, and waterborne freight transport—through timely, evidence-based adaptation policies.

The paper has been prepared as a background note in support of CCICED’s Scoping Study on adaptation and the 2025 Annual General Meeting.
