(CNN) - We are not spending enough money to prepare vulnerable countries for natural disasters caused by climate change, according to a United Nations report published Thursday. Environment Programme’s Annual Adaption Gap Report says the impacts of climate change are accelerating while measures to adapt to climate change in the developing world are slowing. This is leaving billions of people increasingly vulnerable to extreme heat, worsening storms and sea level rise. The report shows the world can still prevent the mounting economic toll from climate disasters. The issue is expected to be a key sticking point in climate negotiations at the COP 28 talks in Dubai this December.
