dc.descriptionClimate change is already impacting every country on earth. It now clear that cutting greenhouse gas emissions is no longer enough. We must also adapt to changing climate that is here and now. As emphasized by the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, “adaptation cannot be the neglected half of the climate equation.” This booklet provides a concise overview of UNEP’s work in helping countries adapt to the climate crisis. Since 2010, UNEP has assisted over 70 projects on climate change adaptation in over 50 countries. These projects cover a vast range of adaptation solutions and best practices, including the use of ecosystem restoration and nature-based solutions to defend against climate impacts, helping countries develop National Adaptation Plans, building weather stations and communication channels to provide early warning climate forecasts to vulnerable communities, improving strategies and solutions for water security, and much more.en
