Funding to help poorer countries cope with climate crisis has stalled, says UN

Financial support from rich nations to help poorer countries cope with the climate crisis has stalled, according to a new UN report. This means that countries most vulnerable to extreme weather events are not receiving the aid they need to adapt to a changing climate. The lack of funding is particularly concerning given the growing impacts of climate-related disasters and warnings from scientists that global heating may be accelerating.

The UN report highlights that financial support from rich nations for climate adaptation measures in poor countries is behind schedule. This lack of funding can exacerbate the climate crisis and its impacts on vulnerable populations.
