Briefings

A 2026 analysis reveals a significant delivery gap in climate adaptation, noting that while 143 of 154 developing countries established National Adaptation Plans by 2025, implementation has failed to match this progress. The evidence highlights a persistent lack of institutional capacity, project preparation, and finance required to convert these plans into actionable strategies and results. This snapshot reflects a critical bottleneck in global climate action, leaving many nations unable to execute their adaptation priorities effectively.

Key points

• By 2025, 143 of 154 developing countries had established National Adaptation Plans, yet implementation has not kept pace with plan establishment.
• Many countries lack the necessary institutional capacity, project preparation, and finance to turn priorities into bankable projects and results on the ground.
