👉Let’s not forget adaptation and its financing
Mitigation is crucial, but so is adaptation ﹘ especially agreeing on the Global Goal on Adaptation and adaptation finance.
Many countries have joined calls to triple adaptation funding, and analyses show reaching $120B/year by 2035 is achievable.

👉On NDCs: progress, but not enough
The UNFCCC's updated synthesis report shows that current pledges would cut 2035 emissions by about 12% from 2019 levels.
That’s clear progress since pre-Paris, but still far from a pathway consistent with the limits set by science.
