UNEP warns climate adaptation lagging as 1.5C overshoot nears
Original: As world heads for overshoot of 1.5°C, adaptation is too slow
The UN Environment Programme warns the world is heading for an overshoot of the 1.5C warming limit while efforts to adapt to climate change are moving too slowly. The agency is calling for faster investment in adaptation measures to protect vulnerable communities from intensifying heat, droughts, floods and other climate impacts already being felt worldwide.
Why now: Rising global temperatures and renewed warnings about missing the Paris Agreement target are keeping climate adaptation in the news.
