UN: Vulnerable countries without adaptation plans

One in six countries still has no climate adaptation plan. Most of these 29 countries are also particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change and are in need of additional support. However, climate adaptation is also making progress: Most countries now plan to adapt to climate change, and 25 percent of them have already introduced legally binding adaptation tools. This is the conclusion of the Adaptation Gap Report 2023 recently published by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP). The report also criticizes the fact that adaptation plans do not take sufficient account of gender equality and social inclusion.
