Lack of finance is hindering climate change efforts, says IPCC

The authors of the UN body’s latest report warn about greater near-term global warming risks and point to “insufficient and misaligned finance” as one of the key obstacles to progress.

A lack of finance is slowing action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and hindering the ability of communities to become more resilient to the impacts of a warming world, according to the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
