Although global warming is set to exceed 1.5°C, financing to help communities adapt to climate change falls far short of needs, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) said in a report published on Wednesday.

As the world heads for warming above 1.5°C, climate adaptation is too slow. Even if international public adaptation finance tripled by 2035, it would only cover 20-29% of developing countries' needs. As impacts grow, more funding is needed to protect lives and livelihoods. UNEP's #AdaptationGap Report is out today: https://unep.org/en/news-and-
