Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation #881904

Climate change represents one of the most significant challenges facing humanity in the 21st century. It is a global phenomenon with local implications, affecting weather patterns, ecosystems, human health, and economies. As the scientific consensus around climate change strengthens, the urgency to both reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the inevitable changes becomes more apparent.
This course explores two complementary strategies in the fight against climate change: mitigation—efforts to reduce or prevent the emission of greenhouse gases, and adaptation—initiatives aimed at adjusting to actual or expected climate impacts.
Addressing climate change requires immediate and sustained global action. Mitigation and adaptation are not mutually exclusive but must be pursued together for a resilient and sustainable future. Effective policies, technological innovation, financial investment, and community engagement are all essential components of a comprehensive climate strategy.
