A Current Look at Adaptation to Climate Change: A Brief Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 11
Abstract
Climate change is already an evident reality and an issue discussed globally. Natural and water resources are declining in most basins, sea levels are rising; and even if it is possible to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) that cause climate change, and thus avoid its most serious consequences, the negative trends will continue in the coming decades due to the inertia of the climate system (UN 2022). Today, no country is free from the bio-physical impacts of climate change; additional costs are also generated, with both the most vulnerable people and ecosystems being most affected. Adaptation is a top priority for developing countries, including more resilient agricultural practices and migration to safer places. The mitigation actions that the Member States of the United Nations have committed to undertake are not enough to achieve the reduction in greenhouse gases necessary for climate stabilization. So, to achieve climate adaptation the climate costs and the management of sustainable and resilient development require an enormous number of new resources.
