Finance is key barrier to extreme heat solutions, says UNEP
Original: Finance is key barrier to roll out solutions to weather extreme heat: UNEP climate head
The head of the UN Environment Programme says a lack of financing is the main obstacle to rolling out measures that help communities cope with extreme heat. As heatwaves intensify worldwide, solutions such as cooling centres, urban shade and early-warning systems exist but remain underfunded, and UNEP is urging greater investment to protect vulnerable populations.
Why now: Extreme heat events are intensifying globally, drawing attention to the funding gap in adaptation measures.
