IMF chief says rich countries alone can 'never close' funding gap for climate change

to help vulnerable nations adapt to the climate emergency.

Public aid and funding from governments of developed countries alone would not be enough to close the funding gap on climate change initiatives in developing countries."Adaptation needs in the developing world are set to skyrocket to as much as $340 billion a year by 2030. Yet adaptation support today stands at less than one-tenth of that amount," U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said.

"If we are to allow climate shocks, time and again, to devastate poor countries, we contribute to instability that Europe feels very strongly, especially when migration flows increase," she said.
