Adaptation is no longer a choice at the margins; it is the foundation of resilient, inclusive growth.

This joint Global Center on Adaptation–Climate Policy Initiative report, Adaptation Finance Flows to Africa – State and Future Trends, provides a clear, data-driven view of where we stand—and a compass for where we must go next.
