UNEP Adaptation Gap Report

The Adaptation Gap Report is key for climate resilience work because it translates climate stress into quantified adaptation finance and policy capacity needs. For India-focused policy work, it helps justify adaptation claims in budget and development discussions and can be used to benchmark the gap between vulnerability and funded response. Organisations using climate finance or livelihood adaptation data often use this as a macro framing layer before going into local risk maps and state-level climate indicators.
