Question

What is the difference between adaptation and mitigation

Answer 1

Mitigation involves reducing the magnitude of climate change subdivided into two alternative strategies: emissions reductions and geoengineering, In crop science involves improved crop and grazing land management to increase soil carbon storage; restoration of cultivated peaty soils and degraded lands; improved rice cultivation techniques and livestock and manure management to reduce CH4 emissions; improved nitrogen fertilizer application techniques to reduce N2O emissions; dedicated energy crops to replace fossil fuel use; improved energy efficiency; improvements of crop yieldsAdaptation involves efforts to limit our vulnerability to climate change impacts through various measures not necessarily dealing with the underlying cause of those impacts. In crop science require adjustment of planting dates and crop variety; crop relocation; improved land management, erosion control and soil protection through tree planting.
