Policy position paper on adaptation
This paper presents Care policy position on adaptation.
Climate change presents a profound threat to CARE’s vision of a world where poverty has been overcome and people live in dignity and security. The world’s poorest people are the most vulnerable to climate change though they contribute least to its causes. Without a well-functioning international adaptation regime, they will pay the highest price. Therefore, the post-2012 agreement must ensure that sufficient funds are available for adaptation and that those funds reach the most vulnerable people.
