Change (UNFCCC) held in Glasgow, Scotland in 2021, which urged developed country parties
to at least double their collective provision of climate finance for adaptation to developing
country parties from about USD 19 billion (2019 levels) by 2025.

to adaptation finance gap (which is estimated at USD 187-359 billion per year), by around only
5%.
 The report highlighted that at present, 171 countries (87%) have at least one national
adaptation policy strategy in place, of which 51% have a second and 20% have a third
instrument.
