How likely are governments to invest sufficiently in climate adaptation? (% of respondents)

Respondents expressed higher expectations that governments will invest adequately in climate adaptation compared with mitigation efforts. The “peak soon” group expresses one category higher confidence in governments’ ability to invest adequately compared with “never peak” group, which remains somewhat more skeptical (Exhibit 17). Respondents had homogenous views for other regions.
