Where do we stand globally on climate change adaptation? UNEP’s Adaptation Gap Report (AGR) provides a detailed account of adaptation planning, finance and implementation. Since its inception in 2020, the implementation chapter of the report has provided an overview of implemented adaptation action worldwide, using various data sources of global and intercontinental coverage. Its 2025 edition provides the first comprehensive analysis of the adaptation reporting of almost 100 countries under the Paris Agreement. It also updates the longitudinal assessment of adaptation projects under the Adaptation Fund, the Green Climate Fund, and the Global Environment Facility and provides a new overview of adaptation implementation by Multilateral Development Banks – see the key messages below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Adaptation Gap Report was launched on 29 October 2025<\/path><\/svg><\/a> by UNEP’s Executive Director. The Grantham Research Institute has been an important contributor to the Adaptation Gap Report. Since 2020, Timo Leiter has been leading the chapter ‘Global progress on adaptation implementation’, which has broadened previous assessment of adaptation beyond planning and finance to track actual implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
