The IPCC’s latest report examines the impacts of the climate emergency on nature and people around the world.
Authors of the IPCC's latest report said the finance that has been made available to date falls far below the estimates of climate adaptation costs, and even more financing will be needed in the future as global heating intensifies.A woman is seen standing in her submerged house in October, 2021.

The U.N.'s Guterres said scaling up investments in adaptation"will be essential for survival," before adding that thewas"clearly not enough to meet the challenges faced by nations on the frontlines of the climate crisis." "The scientific evidence is unequivocal," the IPCC's Pörtner said."Any further delay in concerted global action will miss a brief and rapidly closing window to secure a liveable future."The report makes for grim reading. However, it also makes clear that some of the worst-case scenarios can still be avoided if swift and bold action is taken to address the deepening crisis.
"But relying on nature alone won't be enough," the report adds. It says that drastically reducing human-induced greenhouse gas emissions and a wide range of actions to transform the way we live to put human society on a path of sustainable development are both required to increase climate resilience.
"I don't see the changes that we have to make to create a fairer, healthier plant as negative," Michael Marmot, professor of epidemiology at University College London, said during the same briefing.
