What is climate adaptation?

Climate adaptation refers to the process of adjusting natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climate changes and their effects. The goal is to minimize harm and take advantage of potential opportunities created by climate shifts. This can involve modifying infrastructure, updating policies, and developing new technologies to better cope with extreme weather, sea-level rise, or other climate-related challenges. Climate adaptation is a key part of building resilient communities and ecosystems in the face of ongoing climate change.
