The actions the world takes this decade will determine whether we prevent more severe climate impacts, or whether we open the door to irreversible damage at a devastating scale. The risks are highest for developing countries, which are more vulnerable to devastation and disruption. Ensuring adequate financial flows, investments, and innovation to increase the resilience of low-income and low-lying countries is critical.
