While innovation in climate change mitigation technologies has accelerated sharply over the past two decades, innovation in climate change adaptation technologies has more or less kept its pace, resulting in lost time for the most vulnerable to be able to adapt to and survive climate change. Through the presentation of a new research report, this webinar explores what is holding back innovation in climate change adaptation technology, including gaps in technological capacity and market failures, and also raises further questions on why technological transfers from high income to lower-income countries are not taking place.
