urgent need for increased adaptation finance in climate crisis response
The urgency for climate adaptation has escalated, with COP29 in Baku highlighting a significant gap in adaptation finance needs, estimated at $215 billion-$387 billion annually, against actual funding of only $28 billion in 2022. The Adaptation Fund has invested over $1.2 billion in projects benefiting 46 million vulnerable people, emphasizing the immediate necessity for increased financial support to combat climate impacts.
