Key Messages - Adaptation Gap Report 2022

Climate risks are rising as global warming accelerates. Both strong mitigation and adaptation are key to help vulnerable countries and communities cope with impacts of climate change; 2. More than eight out of ten countries now have at least one national adaptation planning instrument, and they are getting better and more inclusive; 3. However, financing to turn these plans and strategies into action still isn’t following. International adaptation finance flows to developing countries are 5-10 times below estimated needs and the gap continues to widen; 4. Implementation of adaptation actions is increasing but not keeping up with climate impacts; 5. Considering the links between adaptation and mitigation action from the outset in planning, finance, and implementation can enhance co-benefits; 6. Strong political will is needed to increase adaptation investments and outcomes.
