Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is essential, but the UN Secretary-General is warning world leaders that adapting to the impacts of climate change must not be the neglected half of the equation.
Without adaptation solutions, our economies, food security and global stability are under threat.
With climate adaptation projects all over the world, UNEP promotes a wide range of solutions, including nature-based solutions, the development of National Adaptation Plans, early warning climate services, climate-resilient livelihood training and much more.
UNEP has assisted over 70 projects on climate change adaptation in over 50 countries. Combined, the projects are aiming to benefit around 3.5 million people, restore 241,000 hectares of land, improve climate adaptation knowledge of 323,000 people and 131 institutions, and build over 7,800 water harvesting structures and 82 weather stations.
