OVERVIEW
Initiated in 2014, the Adaptation Gap Report (AGR) series serves as a benchmark assessment of global progress in climate change adaptation. It analyses recent scientific literature and primary data sources to offer yearly policy-relevant updates. The AGR series focuses on three key areas: adaptation planning, implementation, and finance.
The report’s methodology involves a comprehensive review of existing literature, analysis of primary data sources, and collaboration with experts and organisations. It aims to provide a factual and policy-relevant assessment of the progress, gaps, and challenges in global adaptation efforts.
For finance professionals, the AGR series offers valuable insights into the financial aspects of climate change adaptation. It provides an overview of the adaptation finance landscape, including the costs and needs of adaptation in developing countries, as well as the financial flows dedicated to addressing these needs. By understanding the adaptation finance gap, finance professionals can identify investment opportunities and contribute to closing the gap through innovative financial solutions.
