There are obvious instrumental reasons for recognising climate change in the long-term management of transboundary resources. For example, flood risk management has to consider possibilities of changes in hazards, and agreements on the use of shared water resources need to pay attention to potential changes in hydrology that can affect possibilities for sustainable abstraction. Concrete transnational measures related to, for example, flood management and warning systems for extreme events have been developed and provide a base for encouraging further transnational cooperation in reducing vulnerability and implementing adaptation in relevant sectors. Transnational cooperation in adaptation may also include generic building of adaptive capacity such as the harmonisation of data and indicators for monitoring change.

Transnational cooperation in adaptation may also include genèric Building of adaptative capacity such as the harmonisation of data and indicators for monitoring change. First results from the Pyrenees Observatory for Climate change includes the creation of a commun harmonised climate data base and a set of indicators in the Pyrenees ( May 2013 http://www.opcc-ctp.org/en/results/indicators http://www.opcc-ctp.org/en/results/climate-evolution
