LONDON - Half of the world's climate change financing should go to helping poorer nations adapt to the effects of global warming, such as droughts, rising seas and floods, the U.N. Environment Programme (UNEP) said on Thursday.
Extreme weather last year such as torrential rains in Africa, record heat waves and warmer temperatures on tropical oceans is consistent with climate change, scientists say.
Last year was one of the warmest on record and as impacts intensify, governments around the world must adapt better or face serious costs, damages and losses, the UNEP Adaptation Gap Report 2020 said.
The 2015 Paris Agreement aims to curb warming to below 2 degrees Celsius, preferably 1.5C, this century.
Under the pact, governments also agreed to implement adaptation measures such as flood defences, greener homes and drought-resilient crops, with financial aid for poorer nations.
"As the U.N. Secretary-General has said, we need a global commitment to put half of all global climate finance towards adaptation in the next year," said Inger Andersen, Executive Director of UNEP.
The Global Commission on Adaptation, launched in 2018 by the United Nations, in 2019 estimated that a $1.8 trillion investment in adaptation measures from 2020 to 2030 would bring a return of $7.1 trillion in cost-saving and other benefits by 2030.

And there it is! I’ve been wondering when the redistribution scheme was gonna come to the fore.
Just a sham for global wealth transfer payments.
Been at the fore for a while.
The UN should just advise them to revert back to the 8th century lifestyles and then not worry about evil carbon spewing modern devices. For some that means only reverting back a few centuries from current.
time to pay up whitey!!
Here we go: Great Reset. Pigs.
This is retread propaganda. I distinctly remember smaller nations complaining they weren’t getting the loot they were promised.
Ah, the real goal - just another shakedown.
You are right.
The root of their “poorness” is islam. SO, the UN wants to raid the west due to what they could not change, the very thing that created the poverty?
Wealth transfers will only feed their need to raid the west.
Marxism has produced the same results.
It’s an alliance of these forces which have infested American politics and will now bring a quick demise to America.
“The UN and Kleptocrats want more money to steal.”
There, fixed it.
Agree. I recall the older Generals and field grades in the late 50’s and early 60’s hated the State Dept. the UN, plus every so called agreement made with Russia and others. Why do we have troops in Germany still? How about South Korea. When will we learn to kill all we need to and get out. We have idiots who agree with driving to war. This Mech Infantry BS was sold in 73-74 in South Korea. Then it spread as Full Colonels managed by statistics. They knew most Majors and senior CPT’s would lie for their management by statistics crap. Look at our military today with LGBT’s etc.
The best things in life are free
But you can give them to the birds and bees
The UN wants MONEY
That’s what it wants.
What’s that old quote about Foreign Aid being money that is taken from poor people in rich countries, and given to rich people in poor countries?
I’ve lived almost a half-century now, and I’ve seen very little, thus far in my life, that seems to disprove that.
And there it is!
Bingo.
It’s all about Wealth Transfer on a Global Scale. It’s all it’s ever been about.
And the thing is, throwing money at these countries won’t do a damn thing.
I’ve been reading the works of this guy for a long time, he gets it.
