Climate action
mitigation
mitigation strategies to climate change refer to efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance carbon sinks to slow down climate change
When climate change slows down, communities can better resist, absorb, adapt to and recover from the impacts of climate change, thus building community resilience.
-
Mitigation strategies and place-and context- specific, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach.
Adaptation
Polder
-
-
Thus it protects people, properties and environments from sea level rise and coastal floods
Example:The netherlands has been constructing polders since the 12th century, and these have helped to protect communities from river and sea flooding

Climate risk may result in loss of human lives and damage to properties
3 factors
-Climate-related hazards
-Vulnerability
-Exposure
3.1: mitigation strategies --> efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance carbon sinks to slow down climate change.
Climate related hazards refers to their intensity and duration
Shorter term events such as cyclone and floods
Longer term events such as sea level rise and droughts
adaptation strategies --> efforts to adjust to climate change and its effect in order to reduce harm to people, properties and environment.
-
Vulnerability It is the physical, social and economy increase susceptibility to the impact of climate related hazards including suffering from a lack of water food and health resources due to extreme weather
Exposure is the extent in which people and properties are exposed to climate related hazards. This can be influenced by the proximity of community to coastal or dry environment
