The Adaptation Gap Report (AGR) series contributes to addressing these questions by annually assessing progress on adaptation and informing key processes, notably under the UNFCCC. In line with this, the AGR 2024 continues to assess information on planning, implementation and finance (chapters 2, 3 and 4, respectively), to explore whether countries...

Climatic disaster impacts, such as loss of human life as its most severe consequence, have been rising globally. Several studies argue that population growth is responsible for the rise, and the role of climate change is not evident. While disaster mortality is highest in low-income countries, existing studies focus mostly on developed countries. H...

The report looks at progress in planning, financing and implementing adaptation actions. At least 84 per cent of Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) have established adaptation plans, strategies, laws and policies – up 5 per cent from the previous year. The instruments are getting better at prioritizing disadvantaged g...
Article
Full-text available
The impacts of climatic disasters have been rising globally. Several studies argue that this upward trend is due to rapid growth in the population and wealth exposed to disasters. Others argue that rising extreme weather events due to anthropogenic climate change are responsible for the increase. Hence, the causes of the increase in disaster impact...

Human mortality and economic losses due to climatic disasters have been rising globally. Several studies argue that this upward trend is due to rapid growth in the population and wealth exposed to disasters. Others argue that rising extreme weather events due to anthropogenic climate change are responsible for the increase. Hence, the causes of the...

# Since the 2020 edition of the Adaptation Gap Report (AGR), there have been some new estimates of the costs of adaptation for developing countries, reporting higher figures than earlier studies. There are also new estimates of adaptation finance needs from some updated Nationally Determined Contributions and National Adaptation Plans, which report...

Article

Existing climate projections and impact assessments in Nepal only consider a limited number of generic climate indices such as means. Few studies have explored climate extremes and their sectoral implications. This study evaluates future scenarios of extreme climate indices from the list of the Expert Team on Sector-specific Climate Indices (ET-SCI...

Article
Given limited scientific agreement on approaches and methodologies, estimates of climate-change adaptation costs vary widely. Here, we present a meta-analysis of aggregate adaptation costs in developing countries, across three roughly homogeneous groups of estimates, i.e. national plan-based, bottom-up science-based, and global top-down estimates....
