ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Adaptation Fund

The Adaptation Fund is like a piggy bank that helps people and countries who are affected by things like climate change, which means things like floods, droughts, and extreme weather. The piggy bank is filled with money from different countries and organizations around the world who want to help out.

It works like this: imagine you have a piggy bank and you want to buy a toy that costs $10. But you only have $5 in your piggy bank. So you ask your mom, dad, or friends to give you some money until you have enough to buy the toy. This is exactly what countries and organizations do for the Adaptation Fund - they give money until there is enough to help people who are affected by climate change.

The people who run the Adaptation Fund decide how the money is used to help people. This includes things like building better houses, growing food in a different way, or creating a new job. They use the money to help people who are most affected by climate change, like those who live near the ocean or in a place that often has floods.

Overall, the Adaptation Fund is a helpful piggy bank that helps people who need it most because of climate change.
