Climate Change Adaptation

Climate change adaptation refers to the process of adjusting natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climate change and its effects. It aims to reduce vulnerability, manage risks, and increase resilience to impacts such as rising temperatures, extreme weather, sea-level rise, and changing precipitation patterns.
