Potsdam, Germany
Climate impacts in one location that propagate to other locations through trade and value chains, development and security policies, and financial systems, may have disrupting effects similar to the COVID-19 pandemic and the war on Ukraine. These effects are not easily represented in traditional analysis frameworks and need to be embedded in the wider context of social vulnerability and climate change. The conference aims to bring together scientists across disciplines that work on approaches to better understand and respond/adapt to cross-border climate impacts and risks. The conference also seeks to identify knowledge gaps and directions for future research. Research presented in the conference will highlight what needs arise from a consideration of cross-border climate impacts, how to design research that is actionable for decision-making or how to improve the monitoring of risks.

Climate change is manifested by pronounced negative impacts on the society and ecosystems.
Increasing heat extremes, heavy precipitation events, droughts and other hazards, put a strain on the
health systems, economies, and natural environments of Europe. Therefore, understanding and
projecting future hydro-meteorological variability and occurrence of extremes, as well as their impacts
are key scientific challenges crucial to the development and implementation of sustainable management
practices and policies.
