The Adaptation Finance Gap - Beyond the numbers

In this episode, we talk about the Adaptation Gap, more specifically the adaptation finance gap.

Joined by the authors of the finance chapter of UNEPs 2023 Adaptation Gap Report, we delve into the big numbers, go beyond them, and try to show what the adaptation finance gap actually means and what we can do about it.

The report shows an adaptation finance gap of 194 to 366 billion dollars - numbers that can seem almost surreal.

But, bridging the adaptation gap is not just about reaching the right amount of billions in finance, its also about how we spend the money, about equity, and about gender and social inclusion aspects.

As the report and the guests make clear, emissions reductions are urgently needed. Slow and insufficient climate adaptation is stretching the limits of our ability to cope with climate change, increasing loss and damage in the future.

Guests:
  • Paul Watkiss, Director of the research consultancy Paul Watkiss Associates
  • Dipesh Chapagain, Senior Research Associate at the United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human Security.
  • Georgia Savvidou, research associate at Stockholm Environment Institute and PhD researcher at Chalmers University of Technology.
  • Blanche Butera, climate adaptation specialist at Paul Watkiss Associates. Based in Rwanda
  • Pieter Pauw, senior researcher at the Eindhoven University of Technology
