UN says adaptation finance for poorer nations is $277bn short of annual need

A UN report released on Wednesday says developing countries need $305 billion a year to adapt to climate change, and rich countries are about $277 billion short. NASA and NOAA also said weather provided ideal conditions for enhanced ozone depletion over Antarctica this year. On Tuesday, Brazil published a roadmap for phasing out fossil fuels ahead of a global climate summit.

  • The UN report notes extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and severe.
  • Brazil says its roadmap lets all countries start cutting dependence on coal, oil and gas now, without waiting for new technologies.
  • A UN-backed report said on Monday that overshooting 1.5C could cause lasting losses of snow and ice.
