Money is one of the biggest obstacles to dealing with climate change — especially in poor countries hit hardest by disasters.
Not enough is being spent to cut the pollution that's heating the planet or on things that could help people adapt to a hotter world, like flood defenses and infrastructure that's built for more extreme weather. As a result, developing countries, which bear little responsibility for fueling climate change, are at risk of suffering crippling losses and damages as temperatures rise.
