What does (climate Change Adaptation Or Klimatanpassning) mean? Let's check what the community at Wikipedia thinks
På svenska: Klimatanpassning, eller anpassning av samhället till ett föränderligt klimat, handlar om att skapa en resiliens i ett samhälle och en förmåga att hantera riskerna med klimatförändringarna. Working Group II i FN:s klimatpanel (IPCC) har behandlat klimatanpassning i sin rapport från 2014. FN:s klimatpanel har också behandlat ämnet i IPCC:s rapport om konsekvenser av global uppvärmning med 1,5 grad från 2018. Lär dig mer på Wikipedia
In English: Climate change adaptation is the process of adjusting to current or expected effects of climate change. For humans, adaptation aims to moderate or avoid harm, and exploit opportunities; for natural systems, humans may intervene to help the adjustment. Adaptation actions can be either incremental (actions where the central aim is to maintain the essence and integrity of a system) or transformative (actions that change the fundamental attributes of a system in response to climate change and its impacts). The need for adaptation varies from place to place, depending on the risk to human or ecological systems. Adaptation actions can be grouped into four categories: Infrastructural and technological; institutional; behavioural and cultural; and nature-based options.: fig. 16.5 Adaptation is especially important in developing countries since those countries are most vulnerable to climate change and are bearing the brunt of the effects of climate change. Human adaptive capacity is unevenly distributed across different regions and populations, and developing countries generally have less capacity to adapt. Adaptive capacity is closely linked to social and economic development.In general higher levels of development mean higher adaptive capacity, but some development locks people into certain patterns or behaviours. And the most developed areas may have low adaptation capacity to new types of natural hazards, not previously experienced, relative to more familiar natural hazards. The economic costs of adaptation to climate change are likely to cost billions of dollars annually for the next several decades. Learn more at Wikipedia
