This UNEP event features high-level opening remarks from UNEP and UNFCCC and a presentation of the key findings of the UNEP Adaptation Gap Report 2025. This will be followed by a panel discussion on how we can speed up finance and implementation of adaptation action.
The event draws on a recent UNEP report that aims to inform countries on the status of adaptation planning, implementation and finance:
The UNEP Adaptation Gap Report 2025: Running on Empty - The world is gearing up for climate resilience — without the money to get there: provides an updated cost of adaptation finance needed in developing countries. The report shows that, if current finance trends continue, the Glasgow Climate Pact goal of doubling international public adaptation finance from 2019 levels by 2025 will not be achieved, while the New Collective Quantified Goal for climate finance is not ambitious enough to close the finance gap. At the same time, while far from enough, there is visible progress on closing the planning and implementation gap.
