Briefings
Current levels of adaptation finance are woefully insufficient. This brief compares what has been delivered to date, with future commitments, and what the IPCC estimates costs will be in 2030 and 2050.
Reports
This report looks into the application of a natural catastrophe model that calculates climate risk and potential of adaptation in the Caribbean.
Peer-reviewed Papers
Burkina Faso's national adaptation policies are only informed by scientific information to a limited extent due to insufficient availability of information, limited human and technical capacity and lack of finance.
Reports
The COP26 climate summit in Glasgow saw important progress made on the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA). However, there is much work still to be done to bring the GGA concept to life. Striking a balance between the GGA serving its ‘global’ purpose, whilst providing sufficient flexibility for countries to describe their own adaptation objectives and progress will ultimately determine the effectiveness of the GGA.
Peer-reviewed Papers
Assessing global progress on human adaptation to climate change is an urgent priority. Although the literature on adaptation to climate change is rapidly expanding, little is known about the actual extent of implementation. This paper systematically screened >48,000 articles using machine learning methods and a global network of 126 researchers to identify eight priority areas for research.
Peer-reviewed Papers
Constraints and limits to adaptation are critical to understanding the extent to which human and natural systems can successfully adapt to climate change.
