Adaptation Gap Report 2024

This report provides an annual assessment of progress in climate change adaptation planning, implementation and finance, with the aim of examining whether countries are collectively on track to adapt to climate change. The assessment covers planning, implementation and finance across dedicated chapters and continues the report series’ focus on these areas. It also broadens the scope of previous assessments by examining means of implementation beyond finance, specifically capacity-building and technology transfer. In addition, the report considers underlying causes and processes associated with reported figures and provides a more detailed analysis of adaptation action at the subnational level, including selected discussion of cities. These extensions complement the assessment of national adaptation progress.
