Add the ending to länderübergreifend.
In “länderübergreifend” (cross-border), you can recognize the parts “Länder” (states/federal states) and “übergreifend” (spanning across). The part “übergreifend” shows that something is not limited to a single state or country.

Cross-border cooperation is necessary to protect the river.
Pay attention to which Länder (states or countries) are mentioned in the text: When referring to German federal states, “länderübergreifend” (cross-border) refers to their borders; when referring to countries, it refers to national borders. The word itself does not specify which kind of Länder (states or countries) is meant.

Hesse and Thuringia are planning a cross-border transport project.

Common collocations include “länderübergreifende Zusammenarbeit” (cross-border cooperation), “länderübergreifende Projekte” (cross-border projects), and “länderübergreifender Austausch” (cross-border exchange). The word therefore often occurs with activities organized jointly by several institutions.
Die Universitäten fördern den länderübergreifenden Austausch von Studierenden.
