UN says poor nations face $277 billion climate adaptation funding gap
Original: Poorer nations need $305B US per year to adapt to climate change. UN says they're $277B short
The United Nations reports that developing countries need roughly $305 billion a year to adapt to climate change, but are falling $277 billion short of that amount. The assessment highlights the widening gap between what poorer nations require to protect themselves from floods, droughts and extreme heat, and the adaptation finance actually being delivered by wealthier countries and international institutions.
Why now: The UN has just published new figures exposing a massive shortfall in climate adaptation funding for poorer nations
