Climate Change Adaptation - By Chandrakant Singh

Climate change related adaptation is needed in complementarity with mitigation since mitigation alone is not enough to stave off the adverse effects of climate change. Greater rates and magnitudes of climate change as observed in last ten years, increase the likelihood of exceeding the temperature form 1.5 degree limit or even cross 2 degree Celsius above pre-industrial level. Therefore it is important now to find out various adaptation methods to adverse impacts of climate change.

There are two main policy responses to climate change: Mitigation and Adaptation.

Mitigation involves reducing the flow of heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, either by reducing ....
