GLAND, Switzerland – Responding to the UNEP Adaptation Gap Report 2023 published today, WWF warns that slow progress and insufficient finance for efforts to increase resilience to the climate crisis leaves everyone, and particularly the most vulnerable, in a desperate situation.
After a year of unprecedented high temperatures and catastrophic extreme weather events, the annual update shows the world is failing to take the impacts of the climate crisis seriously, with slowing progress on financing, planning, and implementation of adaptation measures.
