Adaptation and Mitigation as a Green Transformation

We learned about adaptation and mitigation strategies, and why both are needed to address the impacts of climate change and environmental crises.

1. Mitigation of existential threats means limiting their impact, while adaptation implies changing the way we organise our societies to manage impacts once they occur. The two often go hand in hand.

2. A “green economy” is something all governments should see as an opportunity, with a focus on approaches to production and consumption that benefit both the economy and the environment.
