Boosting Conservation: Lwengo Schools In Massive Tree Planting, Indigenous Crop Initiatives

December 11, 2023

The commitments to achieve the goals of ending the massive forest destruction are nowhere near what is needed to reach the 2030 Paris Agreement ambition, says the new findings by United Nations Environment Program (UNEP).

The Emissions Gap Report 2022 identifies finds that the international community is falling far short of the Paris goals, with no credible pathway to 1.5°C in place. This finds that global efforts in adaptation planning, financing and implementation are not keeping pace with the growing risks.

As climate impacts intensify globally, the report suggests that nations must dramatically increase funding and implementation of actions designed to help vulnerable nations and communities adapt to climate storms.

António Guterres, the UN Secretary-General, says climate adaptation needs in the developing world are set to skyrocket to as much as $340 billion every year by 2030 ye the current adaptation support today stands at less than one-tenth of that amount.

“The most vulnerable people and communities are paying the price. This is unacceptable,” says the secretary adding that adaptation must be treated with utmost seriousness that reflects the equal worth of all people.

“It’s time for a global climate adaptation overhaul that puts aside excuses and picks up the toolbox to fix the problems,” he adds.

According to Inger Andersen, Executive Director of UNEP, Climate change is landing blow after blow upon humanity as it has throughout 2022, say for the floods that submerged most parts of Pakistan.

“The world must urgently reduce greenhouse gas emissions to limit the impacts of climate change. But we must also urgently increase efforts to adapt to the impacts that are already here and those to come,” adds Andersen.

The director further suggests that nations need to support the commitments in the Glasgow Climate Pact with strong action to increase adaptation investments and outcomes, starting at COP27.

The Glasgow Climate Pact 2021 is dedicated to turning the 2020s into a decade of climate action and support by strengthening efforts to build resilience to climate change and curbing greenhouse gas emissions in addition to providing the necessary finance for both.

Still, the nations reaffirmed their duty to fulfil the pledge of providing 100 billion dollars annually from developed to developing countries.

Slow Adaptation

In addition, the report finds that more than eight out of ten countries have at least one national adaptation planning instrument, and they are getting better and more inclusive.

It identifies at least a third of the 197 country Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) have incorporated quantified and time-bound targets on adaptation.

But for the moment, nearly 90 per cent of planning instruments analysed, display consideration for gender and disadvantaged groups, such as Indigenous peoples.

However, the report finds that linking adaptation and mitigation actions – such as nature-based solutions – from the outset in planning, finance, and implementation can enhance co-benefits. It could also limit potential trade-offs, such as hydropower reducing food security or irrigation increasing energy consumption.
