The Adaptation Gap Report

The Adaptation Gap Report evaluates how well countries are preparing for the impacts of climate change, like rising sea levels and extreme weather. It compares the current efforts and investments to what’s needed to effectively protect vulnerable communities and ecosystems. When there's a gap, it means actions aren’t enough to prevent severe damage. The report highlights the importance of increasing adaptation measures—such as building resilient infrastructure and protecting ecosystems—to avoid future losses, and urges policymakers to prioritize funding and strategies that bridge this gap for a safer, more sustainable future.
