UN warns developing countries face major climate adaptation funding shortfall

The United Nations Environment Programme says countries are falling far short of the funding needed to protect communities from climate change. Its latest Adaptation Gap Report warns that the shortfall goes beyond money, putting lives, livelihoods and future development at risk. Developing countries need far more funding to implement measures such as early-warning systems, climate-resilient infrastructure and better water management. UN Secretary-General António Guterres says proven solutions exist, but more funding and political commitment are needed to help countries prepare for climate-related disasters.
