  1. Adaptation and Mitigation Ways to Address Climate Change

  2. What is Mitigation? • To prevent the worsening of destruction • To decrease force or intensity. To lower risk. • Earthquake mitigation • Build buildings to withstand shaking better • Flood mitigation • Build dams to hold back overflowing rivers • Climate change mitigation • Reduce carbon dioxide emissions

  3. What is Adaptation? • Reacting or changing to fit the new circumstance • Coping with impacts that cannot be avoided Examples: • farmers planting different crops for different seasons • wildlife migrating to more suitable habitats as the seasons change. • Building levees against sea level rise
