A New Tool to Help Countries Facing Climate and Finance Vulnerabilities
['Joseph Peralta']
The Rockefeller Foundation
When this record-temperature-setting summer is over, governments will come together for UN Climate Week to face growing concerns over global climate emergencies and scarce resources to address them.
From extreme heat to floods to wildfires, the number of climate-related disasters has tripled in the last 30 years.
The collapse of foreign assistance means developing countries will have to cope with expanding climate challenges — especially those related to adaptation and resilience — with too few resources.
Top of mind for governments will be questions around how we can better plan for climate emergencies and mitigate the impact on communities most threatened by climate disasters.
Critical to these discussions is understanding which countries are the most vulnerable and face the most challenges in accessing capital — so that we can focus our limited resources where they’ll make the most impact.
