  • Climate change adaptation is the strategy of changing social and ecological modes of being to reduce the harmful effects of climate change.
  • Adaptation involves changing society and ecosystems so that the effects of climate change will not be as significant or severe.
  • Climate change mitigation aims to reduce or prevent climate change itself so that society and ecosystems do not have to adjust as much to flourish under the new climate regime.
  • Mitigation can still require a change in lifestyle, since mitigating or reducing climate change also means reducing behaviours or processes that lead to climate change.
