The Adaptation Fund responds to developing countries’ needs through concrete projects

NordenBladet — As the impacts of climate change expand, the need for adaptation measures, and for international funding for adaptation, will increase. Finland supports the Adaptation Fund, which operates under the Paris Agreement and funds concrete projects that help the most vulnerable people in developing countries.As climate change progresses, its impacts will expand. In addition to gradual changes, extreme weather events, such as droughts, floods or hurricanes, will become more common. Industrialised countries are responsible for the majority of greenhouse gas emissions, but it is the most vulnerable people in the poorest countries who suffer the most from the impacts. This is why developed countries are funding measures to adapt to climate change, such as climate-smart agriculture, in the poorest countries.
