There is a tendency to act as if climate change adaptation is a ‘get out of jail free’ card

Adapting to ongoing climate change will involve huge disruption to our systems

It would be so much simpler to act to stop further climate change

Adaptation is 100% necessary
Most adaptation plans are way behind schedule
This is all coming at us faster than expected
We are completely unprepared

And there is also this
ALL adaptation has limits
At 3ºC most of life on earth will be hitting those limits

Clean Energy Shift to End the Climate Crisis… www.nature.com/articles/d41...

As we breach 1.5 °C, we must replace temperature limits with clean-energy targets

Actionable goals are needed to guide the world towards what needs to happen most quickly: shifting economies to clean energy sources.

@esabcc.bsky.social calls for strengthened adaptation policy in new report.

Europe is warming about x2 the global average, with rising temperatures driving more frequent and severe heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, flooding, sea-level rise and coastal erosion.
