(Mitigation as defined under RA 9729: Climate Change Act) • Refers to the adjustment in natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli or their effects, which moderates harm or exploits beneficial opportunities. (Adaptation – under RA 9729: Climate Change Act) • Refers to the systematic approach and practice of managing uncertainty to minimize potential harm and loss. It comprises risk assessment and analysis, and the implementation of strategies and specific actions to control, reduce and transfer risks. (Risk Management – under RA 10121: DRRM Act)
