In the political and social sphere, the idea of adopting “adaptation and mitigation strategies to climate change” is often raised. Adaptation is understood as the capacity or ability to transform to accommodate a change, and mitigation refers to the actions undertaken to counteract or minimize certain impacts. Mitigation has, therefore, a corrective character of present actions, while adaptation looks to the future from a transformative perspective. Thus, adaptation and mitigation strategies will have different, although complementary, objectives.

摘要

In the political and social sphere, the idea of adopting “adaptation and mitigation strategies to climate change” is often raised. Adaptation is understood as the capacity or ability to transform to accommodate a change, and mitigation refers to the actions undertaken to counteract or minimize certain impacts. Mitigation has, therefore, a corrective character of present actions, while adaptation looks to the future from a transformative perspective. Thus, adaptation and mitigation strategies will have different, although complementary, objectives.
