Detailed Factual Report

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.

The 2026 Adaptation Gap Report finds that developing countries will require roughly $305 billion annually by 2035 to build resilience and reduce risks .

Yet even if international public adaptation finance triples only a maximum of 29 per cent of needs will be covered.

“ The world is not ready to adapt to current climactic conditions, never mind what overshoot of 1.5°C will bring ,” warned Inger Andersen, the UNEP Executive Director.
