The potential "super El Niño" could create record-breaking warming conditions, according to the UN Environment Programme's 2025 Adaptation Gap Report. The report found that while global public adaptation finance has decreased slightly to $26 billion in 2023, even as the cost of climate impacts increases, developing countries will need $310 billion to $365 billion per year by 2035 to prepare for worsening heat waves, floods, and droughts. The study also warned that adaptation must become anticipatory, strategic, and transformational, unlike anything people have seen in the past.
