Consider this: At the Paris climate conference, developed world nation promised to make $100bn / year available to tackle climate change by 2020. They've failed on this promise, best estimate is that $80bn was forthcoming in 2020.
Of that $80m, 80% was spent in Developed world countries on mitigation efforts, leaving just 20% (~$16bn) for adaptation projects. Of that $16bn only 10% ($1.6bn) is reaching the most vulnerable communities in the most vulnerable countries - this is how much is left over to enable #adaptation projects in the places that really need them. So, we live in a world where only 2% of the money set aside for action on climate change goes to support those who are suffering the worst impacts of climate breakdown. Where is the #climatejustice?
Why are we leaving millions of people to suffer, when we could be enabling #GreatAdaptations? They are possible our work in Nepal shows, but only possible if the $100bn pledge is realised and then ratcheted up year on year.
One other thing needs to change. Right now the $80bn is split 80/20 split in favour of mitigation projects. When $100bn is hit, a better balance needs to be achieved, with 50/50 being the aspiration so that adaptation projects get the funding they need.
