At successive UN climate conferences, two ideas have appeared side by side. Developed countries promise more adaptation and loss-and-damage finance, while official declarations celebrate Indigenous knowledge as essential to planetary survival. Together, they create an appealing picture of climate justice: historical emitters provide restitution, while communities that have long protected vulnerable ecosystems help guide the response. But this apparent synthesis conceals a deeper failure. Recognition is expanding much faster than either finance or political authority. The finance gap is stark. The Glasgow Climate Pact called on developed countries to double adaptation finance from 2019 levels by 2025 – commonly understood as a target of about US$40 billion.

Anofficial board report (Opens in new window) recorded US$788.8 million in pledges but only US$361 million received by June 2025.
