Transmission of climate risks across sectors and borders.

Philosophical transactions. Series A, Mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences

Challinor AJ, Adger WN, Benton TG, Conway D, Joshi M, Frame D.
PMID: 29712795
Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci. 2018 Jun 13;376(2121). doi: 10.1098/rsta.2017.0301.

Systemic climate risks, which result from the potential for cascading impacts through inter-related systems, pose particular challenges to risk assessment, especially when risks are transmitted across sectors and international boundaries. Most impacts of climate variability and change affect regions...
