Answer:

Climate change is a global phenomenon. The intensity of the impacts will vary across the globe. For example, in the low lying islands, sea level rise will be the obvious impact, cause the water wells/bores to become salty. This will also pose threat for crops and plants to grow. For larger islands and continents(as is for South Africa), increasing temperature will lead to prolonged dry season and drought. Also frequency of rainy season leading to flooding. In similar context, will also affect food production.

Back to the question, how were you going to solve the problem? This is a tough question that have challenged scientists, academics, policy makers and the ordinary citizens like us for decades now. There are two words commonly used when dealing with impacts of climate change, Adaptation and mitigation.

For adaptation, one have to look on tangible solutions to response to the impacts. Example for salt water killing crops, plant crops that can withstand brackish water. This is only an example.

For mitigation, this is what our leaders have been discussing during the COP conferences. To reduce the amount of greenhouse as including CO2 pumped into the atmosphere by industries.

So the question, both adaptation and mitigation measure will have to be adopted. But you cannot solve the problem, only adapted to the changes.

Which type of soil can retain the greatest amount of water- high porosity, low porosity, low permeability or high permeability
topjm [15]
The answer is: HIGH POROSITY.
________________________________
(although low permeability can be associated with greater water retention. Permeability can be affected by particular size.  For instance, larger particular have larger poles, so fluid (water) can pass through water quickly (higher permeability and less water retention).  As such, smaller particles have smaller pores, so fluid (water) can pass through water LESS quickly (lower permeability and RETAINING MORE WATER.).
_______________________
However, "high porosity" is the best choice.

Blababa [14]
Scientists mapped the magnetic polarity of ocean floor on both sides of the ridge. They found that the pattern of strips of rock with the same polarity matched on both sides of the ridge. This showed that the ocean floor moves away from mid-ocean ridges as new rock forms.
