Key Messages

Adaptation is for life. It must be financed, fast and fair.

#AdaptationForLife

Adapting to climate change is not a choice, it’s a vital priority.

• Alongside efforts to rapidly cut emissions, which must be scaled urgently, climate adaptation is central to shared resilience, national security, and economic stability. It will define whether development gains hold or unravel under climate pressure.
• As the world gets hotter, extreme weather events are increasing dramatically, putting more lives and livelihoods in danger. Intense heat, droughts, floods, wildfires, and storms are amplifying conflict, disrupting supply chains, straining health systems and pushing up food and energy prices, which makes the cost of living crisis worse. Scaling adaptation efforts, so that more countries, communities, farmers and families can be better prepared for the changes ahead, will help reduce these risks.

In a world transformed by climate change, adaptation becomes the heartbeat of innovation and development.

• Adaptation means transforming how we build cities, grow food, manage water, and how we protect the people, cultures, and places we love. It means building economic resilience so that farmers, for example, can still grow nutritious food and earn enough money to keep their families safe, even when extreme weather puts crops at risk.
• Adaptation is how we keep each other safe and healthy, cities resilient, and trade moving — stabilizing prices, supporting stronger economies, and freeing up funds for future development.

We know that financing adaptation pays off — and that much more is needed now.

• People on the frontlines of the climate crisis are doing everything in their power to protect their livelihoods, homes and heritage, and to forge new solutions rooted in local knowledge, lived experience, care, and reciprocity. But far more high-quality finance — both public and private — is needed to empower and scale these efforts.
• Because no country is resilient until all countries are. No company is resilient until its workers, suppliers, operations, and customers are. That’s why adaptation is everyone’s business. And the value is clear: every dollar provided generates more than ten in benefits — saving lives, boosting productivity, and building a safer, healthier world.

Adaptation is for life. It must be financed, fast and fair.

• The current pledge to double adaptation finance, ending in 2025, hasn’t yet been met. Vulnerable countries and communities — those who have done the least to cause the crisis yet face the steepest barriers to building resilience — are increasingly calling for more adequate, predictable and additional support, which is vital for national and global stability.
• COP30 won’t be a success without progress on adaptation finance. It’s a critical moment to ensure adaptation becomes a global political and financing priority — alongside reducing emissions.
• It’s in each and every country’s interests to scale and speed up adaptation finance now — to protect lives, reduce risk, and secure a more stable, prosperous future for all.
