In our global economy, the indirect effects of increasing heatwaves, floods and wildfires can be felt in distant locations. This means climate impacts occurring in remote areas can lead to consequences such as rising food prices in Europe, and become political ‘triggers’. It is, therefore, of paramount importance for the European Union and other countries to take a proactive approach to these 'cascading climate risks.' In this interview, Senior Research Fellow ad adaptation expert, Richard Klein, explains why these risks have been overlooked so far. 

Explore a report including a set of strategic recommendations from experts for EU policymakers to build resilience against cascading climate risks in Europe and beyond.
