Climate adaptation
The challenge of the age
Special reports -
Adapting to climate change is urgent, feasible and woefully underfunded, argues Edward McBride
The challenge of the age
The world has to adapt to the climate change it will not avoid
And poor countries will need help to do so
To those who have...
Money and moderately good governance make climate-change adaptation easier
Unfortunately they are not in abundant supply
The big and the little
Small climate projects cannot take the place of all large ones
But they can achieve a lot if coordinated
Of heat and harvests
A lot can be done to adapt farming to near-term climate change
But more is still needed
Look around you
The business of businesses is climate-change adaptation
Big ones are waking up to the fact
Making the money available
Public money must pave the way for private investment in climate-change adaptation
Otherwise the world will be poorly served
Common sense
The rich world is wrong to think that climate impacts in poor countries don’t matter
There is a compelling moral case for rich countries to do more to help poor ones adapt
