Climate Change Adaptation

Why it matters

• It enhances the resilience of vulnerable ecosystems and communities against unavoidable climate impacts like extreme weather events.
• It integrates long-term risk management into developmental planning to ensure sustainable economic growth.
• It reduces the potential for large-scale displacement and resource conflicts arising from environmental degradation.

How it is asked

Focus on the distinction between mitigation and adaptation, the role of local governance in disaster risk reduction, and the integration of adaptation strategies into national infrastructure and agriculture policies.
