The UN said some countries need 10-18 times the amount of money that is internationally available.
There is a “growing divide” between how much money developing countries need for climate adaptation and what rich countries are offering in support, a UN report has found.
Whereas the amount of money required for adaptation is increasing, available support from richer countries is plateauing. “Action to protect people and nature is more pressing than ever. Lives and livelihoods are being lost and destroyed, with the vulnerable suffering the most. Inger Andersen, executive director of UNEP said: “In 2023, climate change yet again became more disruptive and deadly: temperature records toppled, while storms, floods, heatwaves and wildfires caused devastation.
Over the last two decades, the 55 most climate-vulnerable countries have seen damages worth more than 500 billion dollars , an amount that will only increase in future without adequate support.
