Abstract

Although adaptation finance is increasing, the latest UNEP Adaptation Gap Report shows that it does not outweigh mounting adaptation costs. More funding is required, preferably for anticipatory adaptation. Closing the adaptation finance gap simultaneously requires a maximization of efforts to limit adaptation costs through ambitious mitigation and sustainable finance policies.
