A piece in The Conversation contends that opacity across borders escalates risk, since downstream nations cannot prepare for floods, droughts or other hazards without shared information from upstream or adjacent states.
Why now: It links the ongoing run of severe climate disasters to concerns about authoritarian governments hiding environmental information, a topic of current debate.
