💡 During our work with citizens, we found out that many people find confusing adaptation and mitigation actions. So, we are excited to launch a new infography that clarifies the difference between these two concepts. #Mitigation measures aim to #reduce or #prevent the #emission of #greenhouse gases (GHGs) related to human activities (such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, energy production and use, etc.) to slowdown or halt climate change. #Adaptation measures aim to #reduce #vulnerability to climate change impacts by preparing for and adjusting to the current and expected impacts (such as extreme heat or rain), enhancing resilience. Key Differences: 🌍 Focus: Mitigation addresses the causes of climate change (reducing GHG emissions), while adaptation addresses the effects (preparing for and adjusting to impacts). 🕙 Timeframe: Mitigation has long-term benefits for global climate, while adaptation has more immediate benefits for local resilience. 🎯 Goal: Mitigation aims to limit the extent of climate change, whereas adaptation aims to manage and cope with its impacts. ✨ This will be soon available in multiple languages! ℹ If you want to know more about our Tools and Solutions, check out our page for an overview of the different resources developed by the first four REGILIENCE, ARSINOE_EU, Climate Impetus and TransformAr 👉https://bit.ly/4axbRgA #ClimateAction #ClimateAdaptation #Tools ICLEI Europe | Fresh Thoughts Consulting GmbH | Institute for European Energy and Climate Policy Foundation (IEECP) | adelphi | North West Croatia Regional Energy and Climate Agency (REGEA) | F6S Innovation | FEDARENE | Resilient Cities Network | ARSINOE_EU | Climate Impetus | TransformAr I Pathways2Resilience I Mission Implementation Platform for Adaptation to Climate Change (MIP4Adapt) | weADAPT Learn - Share - Connect | BRIGAID Connect
