#ClimateAction should be rapidly accelerating, but it is not. Progress on adaptation is slowing on all fronts.

UNEP's 2023 #AdaptationGap Report outlines what’s urgently needed in three key areas: finance, planning, and implementation. https://t.co/pxZas4WpKE

The WASP mourns the loss of one of the World's greatest climate adaptation science champions, Prof. Saleemul Huq, co-founder of the WASP. He passed away in Dhaka on 29 October, 2023.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and the ICCCAD Community. He will be dearly missed.
