Why Climate Adaptation? DM2009 Climate Adaptation Developing countries need additional financing to adapt to climate change Addressing climate change is critical to development and poverty reduction The poorest countries and communities stand to suffer the earliest and the most from the effects of climate change. An effective response to climate change must combine both mitigation of global GHG emissions—to avoid the unmanageable—and adaptation at the regional, national, and local levels—to manage the unavoidable There is a huge funding gap for adaptation (and mitigation) The development community needs to build knowledge about adaptation to climate change ! ! ! ! ! !
