Shared natural resources have motivated transnational cooperation in adaptation and there is further scope for integrating adaptation considerations into other areas of transnational cooperation

The management and protection of shared transboundary resources and environmental conditions have increasingly recognised that adaptation to climate change is an emerging issue that has to be taken into account. The Water Convention of the UNECE is a case in point and management activities on transboundary waters have started to pay attention to climate change adaptation (UNECE, 2009). Within Europe this has also been reflected in the activities guided by the Water Framework Directive (EC, 2000).
