When it comes to climate change, we typically think of solutions focused on restoring vegetation to accelerate mitigation and boost the rate of adaptation to the changing climate. However, a new study explains how the restoration of large mammal species can help in climate change adaptation and mitigation. This is just one of many theories of…

Climate change is the biggest issue we face, and yet there is little agreement over the best way to address it. Many theoretical approaches exist that propose methods of dealing with climate change, but these theories may lead us to different practical conclusions or approaches. It is important to understand the overarching theories that guide…

In recent years, scientists, governments, and private research organizations have begun to dive deeper to find new ways to control and mitigate the effects of climate change. However, many challenges present themselves in developing climate adaptation strategies. Groundbreaking and innovative climate solutions rely primarily on theory and projections, as there is limited data and research…

Today, most agree that decision-makers at every level should consider the effects of climate change on local levels, evaluate potential strategies, and implement climate adaptation projects accordingly. To approach climate threats in a low-risk and cost-effective way, though, there must be a well-defined process in place. The Economics of Climate Adaptation (ECA) is a monitored…

Climate adaptation is a term used to describe how humans recognize and combat climate change’s adverse effects through governmental policy and bioengineering strategies. While there is no single route to eliminate climate risks, we are beginning to develop meaningful solutions to make significant changes to the climate adversity we currently face. Below, we walk through…

For the most part, we confront and combat climate change through two different paths – climate mitigation and climate adaptation. Most people have heard of both terms, but the differences often go overlooked. Both climate mitigation and climate adaptation address the negative impacts of climate change, and both aim to reduce the effects that it…

A climate adaptation strategy is a plan designed to reduce the threats that come from climate change. Small and large governments around the world have already begun the process of adapting their communities to changes in our climate.  Here’s how climate adaptation strategies are being developed and executed at each level of government:   Cities Local…
