Adaptation and Mitigation

Adaptation involves modifying decisions, activities, and ways of thinking to adjust to a changing climate, with goals of increasing capacity to adapt and improving ability to thrive under different climate conditions. Examples include infrastructure design, agricultural practices, and forest protection. Mitigation aims to reduce the causes of climate change through goals like cutting greenhouse gas emissions and overlapping examples such as green infrastructure, energy technology improvements, and sustainable transportation.
