The world has already warmed more than one degree Celsius and is on track to warm an additional 2C by the end of this century. Societies will need to adapt to this warming, but our knowledge of what policies or technologies best support adaptation remains limited. It is also likely that adaptation will be costly and incomplete, prompting calls for financial transfers between those who emit and those who suffer damages. However, our evidence is again incomplete on if and how to link specific damages to specific emissions.
