ADAPTATION
Adapt to protect communities and natural habitats
Even as we work tirelessly to reduce emissions, further change is inevitable. We know that the most vulnerable are at the greatest risk from climate change, and that they have done the least to cause it. Action to address this and build resilience is needed now, before more people lose their lives or livelihoods.
The international community must unite and support people who are most vulnerable to the impacts of the changing climate. We need more action to avert, minimise and address the loss and damage that is already occurring from climate change. Plans and more finance need to be put in place to improve warnings, defences, as well as building resilient infrastructure and agriculture to avoid further loss of life, livelihoods and natural habitats.
