    As world heads for overshoot of 1.5°C, adaptation is too slow

    The 2026 Adaptation Gap Report shows growth in international public adaptation finance flows are flattening. Tripling international public adaptation finance to developing countries by 2035 will only cover 20-29 per cent of needs, with loss and damage growing.

    New report urges investment in Ocean Carbon Intelligence to safeguard the ocean’s climate role

    The ocean is one of our most important climate allies, but its ability to regulate the climate is under growing pressure. The 2026 Climate Technology Progress Report shows rapid emissions reductions, stronger understanding of ocean carbon processes, and responsible development of ocean-based climate technologies are required.

    Climate Technology Progress Report 2026 - Navigating Ocean-based Technologies

    The 2026 Climate Technology Progress Report highlights Ocean Carbon Intelligence, a framework that connects ocean science, monitoring technologies, data infrastructure and analytical tools to improve understanding of ocean carbon dynamics and support evidence-based climate action.

    The report highlights both the opportunities and limitations of ocean-based climate technologies, including blue carbon ecosystem restoration and emerging marine carbon dioxide
    removal approaches.

    Emissions Gap Report 2026

    The 2026 Emissions Gap Report looks at a ‘lowest possible’ 1.5°C overshoot scenario, in which peak warming is limited and global temperature rise is returned to or below 1.5°C by the end of the century.

    The report also lays out new sectoral benchmarks consistent with the lowest 1.5°C overshoot scenario: detailing what is needed in the expansion of renewable energy, reducing primary energy intensity, reducing the share of coal, oil and gas in total energy supply, and cutting methane emissions.

    The report finds that there are more opportunities than ever to accelerate action. Upscaling successful policies to increase climate action could put the world on track for the lowest possible 1.5°C overshoot scenario.
