Mitigation \u2013 halting global warming and reducing the climate change it causes \u2013 involves reducing the flow of heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, either by reducing sources of these gases (e.g., the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat or transport) or enhancing the \u201csinks\u201d that accumulate and store these gases (such as the oceans, forests and soil).\n<\/p>\n<p>2. Adaptation \u2013 addressing the impacts of climate change and adapting to life in a changing climate \u2013 involves adjusting to actual or expected future climate. The goal is to reduce our risks from the harmful effects of climate change by building our resilience (the ability to bounce back) so that we are less vulnerable.<br \/>\n\u2014 Adapted from NASA (2023)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The two main pillars of the climate change convention [UNFCCC] are adaptation and mitigation. And it is the responsibility of this generation, all of us alive right now, to mitigate enough \u2014 that means to bring greenhouse gas emissions down enough \u2014 to allow that adaptation, in particular in the most vulnerable communities, to be actually possible and effective. \u2014 Christiana Figueres, former Executive Secretary, UNFCCC\n<\/p>\n<p>Below is a metaphor that helps us grasp both the difference between mitigation and adaptation and, importantly, the need for both at once. Indeed, as community geographer Susanne Moser (of the United States) explains, \u201c[s]trict greenhouse gas mitigation efforts are not enough to minimize and manage the risks from climate change. Adaptation planning must go forward to address the climate change impacts that are now unavoidable.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"thumb tright\">\n<div class=\"thumbinner thumbnail\" style=\"width:182px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wikieducator.org\/File:Leaky_Boat.png\" class=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/\/wikieducator.org\/images\/thumb\/1\/1f\/Leaky_Boat.png\/180px-Leaky_Boat.png\" width=\"180\" height=\"140\" class=\"thumbimage img-responsive\"><\/a>  <\/p>\n<div class=\"thumbcaption\">Leaky Boat.

It is true, for example, that the global temperature increase has extended the growing season for farmers in many parts of the world. But the consequence of a warmer atmosphere is an energised atmosphere, leading to an increase in the frequency, duration and\/or intensity of heatwaves, floods, droughts, wildfires, huge storms and pest infestations. Because of these extreme events, some countries are seeing recent increases in their crop productivity start to slow down, while drought-prone countries and regions are experiencing crop failures.\n<\/p>\n<p>As another example, Canadians, who are crazy for ice hockey and snow skiing, thought that warmer winters would be nice \u2013 until they discovered that warmer winters mean less ice for hockey and less snow for skiing.\n<\/p>\n<p>Read the following news report:\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Canada: World\u2019s largest skating rink to remain closed due to lack of ice!<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<p>For the first time in five decades, the renowned Rideau Canal Skateway in Ottawa, Canada, which is also the world\u2019s largest outdoor rink, will not open due to a lack of ice. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the skateway stretches as far as 7.8 kilometres long, and is immensely popular among both locals and tourists. However, in recent years, Ottawa has been experiencing warmer winters. This year, it faced the third-warmest winter in history, the reason why there is not enough stable, solid ice to support ice skating. (Times of India, 2023)\n<\/p>\n<p>Note that even so-called developed nations are experiencing extreme weather events, such as unseasonal and deadly heatwaves (made worse by the heat island effect in cities dense with concrete buildings and asphalt roadways), floods that destroy infrastructure, droughts that are drying the soil and killing crops, wildfires that burn huge areas of forest, etc.\n<\/p>\n<p>Mitigation and adaptation solutions can overlap. In other words, the same strategy can both reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase the resilience of people or ecosystems to current or future climate change impacts.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe more we reduce emissions right now, the easier it will be to adapt to the changes we can no longer avoid.\u201d \u2014 Local Government Climate Change Support Programme, South Africa\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"panel iDevice\">\n\t<div class=\"panel-heading idevice-heading\">\n\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pedagogicalicon\" alt=\"media\" src=\"https:\/\/course.fossdle.org\/baccc\/wp-content\/themes\/oeru-course\/idevices\/Icon_multimedia.png\">\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t<h2>Climate Change 101 \u2013 Mitigation and Adaptation (3:17)<\/h2>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"panel-body\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Watch Climate Change 101 \u2013 Mitigation and Adaptation (3:17) from the South African Let\u2019s Respond Toolkit.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<div data-mode=\"normal\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-taskvp-xqr0\" style=\"max-width:400px;\" class=\"arve alignleft\">\n\t<div class=\"arve-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top:56.250000%\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<iframe allow=\"accelerometer &apos;none&apos;;autoplay &apos;none&apos;;bluetooth &apos;none&apos;;browsing-topics &apos;none&apos;;camera &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-read &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-write;display-capture &apos;none&apos;;encrypted-media &apos;none&apos;;gamepad &apos;none&apos;;geolocation &apos;none&apos;;gyroscope &apos;none&apos;;hid &apos;none&apos;;identity-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;idle-detection &apos;none&apos;;keyboard-map &apos;none&apos;;local-fonts;magnetometer &apos;none&apos;;microphone &apos;none&apos;;midi &apos;none&apos;;otp-credentials &apos;none&apos;;payment &apos;none&apos;;picture-in-picture;publickey-credentials-create &apos;none&apos;;publickey-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;screen-wake-lock &apos;none&apos;;serial &apos;none&apos;;summarizer &apos;none&apos;;sync-xhr;usb &apos;none&apos;;web-share;window-management &apos;none&apos;;xr-spatial-tracking &apos;none&apos;;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" credentialless data-arve=\"arve-youtube-taskvp-xqr0\" data-lenis-prevent=\"\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/taskvP-XqR0?iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"225\" loading=\"lazy\" name=\"\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/taskvP-XqR0?iv_load_policy=3&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autoplay=0\" title=\"Climate Change 101 \u2013 Mitigation and Adaptation (3:17)\" width=\"400\"><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\\\/\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/course.fossdle.org\\\/baccc\\\/modules\\\/module-6-adaptation-and-resilience\\\/what-is-climate-change-adaptation-and-resilience-part-2\\\/#arve-youtube-taskvp-xqr0\",\"@type\":\"VideoObject\",\"embedURL\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\\\/embed\\\/taskvP-XqR0?iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&autohide=1&playsinline=0&autoplay=0\",\"name\":\"Climate Change 101 \\u2013 Mitigation and Adaptation (3:17)\"}<\/script>\n\t\n<div class=\"arve-error\"><p><small><abbr title=\"Advanced Responsive Video Embedder\">ARVE<\/abbr> error: maxwidth: <code>560px<\/code> is not valid<\/small><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n(You can adjust the playback speed and\/or turn on subtitles\/captions.)\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"h5p-iframe-3\" class=\"class1 class2 h5p-iframe h5p-initialized WEH5P\" src=\"https:\/\/course.fossdle.org\/BaCCC\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php?action=h5p_embed&amp;id=61\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" style=\"width:100%;height:200px;font-weight: bold\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>What is the strategy the narrator mentions that can have \u201cboth mitigation and adaptation benefits\u201d?
