Climate Change

Adaptation: to take action to prepare for and adjust to both the current effects of climate change the predicted impacts in the future.
Mitigation: actions that are designed to reduce or prevent emissions of GHG causing human-induced climate change. Mitigation of climate change can be attained by harnessing new technologies, promoting renewable energies, improving efficiency of older energy systems, or changing management practices or consumer behaviour. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) mitigation is the effort to control the human sources of climate change and their cumulative impacts, notably the emission of GHGs and other pollutants, such as black carbon particles, that also impact the planet’s energy balance. Mitigation also includes efforts to enhance the processes that remove GHGs from the atmosphere, known as sinks.
