RT null T1 Adaptation Gap Report 2021 - Chapter 4 A1 United Nations Environment Programme, A2 Watkiss, Paul A2 Chapagain, Dipesh A2 Savvidou, Georgia A2 Butera, Blanche K1 climate change K1 environmental financing SN 978-92-807-3895-7 YR 2021 FD 2021-11 LK https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/37294 UL https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/37294 NO This chapter updates the adaptation finance gap for developing countries by reviewing recent evidence on adaptation costs, country needs identified in National Adaptation Plans and Nationally Determined Contributions, and global adaptation finance flows. It compares these estimates to assess the potential scale and evolution of the finance gap, while recognising the challenges of measuring both costs and finance flows. The chapter therefore provides insights rather than new estimates. It also examines progress and opportunities to bridge the gap, including developments since the 2020 edition of the Adaptation Gap Report.Full report is available at: https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/37284 NO https://www.unep.org/resources/adaptation-gap-report-2021 DS UN Environment Document Repository RD Sep 18, 2026
