AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoClimate and Health: The Lancet Countdown says heat-related deaths averaged 540,800 a year in 2016–23, up 36% from the previous decade; researchers estimate climate change contributed to 68% of those deaths and urge governments to declare a health emergency. Emissions Gap: Greenhouse-gas concentrations hit record levels in 2025, while current national pledges would cut emissions by only 6% by 2035. UNEP says a breach of the 1.5°C warming limit is now unavoidable. Adaptation Finance: The Green Climate Fund approved $44 million for locally led coastal resilience in The Bahamas, Belize, Grenada, Jamaica and Saint Lucia, including grants for climate-smart farming, fisheries and early-warning systems. Preparing for Risk: The EU is urging countries to plan for a world 3°C warmer, as climate damage costs mount and insurers report sharp increases in weather-related claims.
