Description:Climate change adaptation is the process of increasing resilience and reducing vulnerability to risks related
to climate change. From a law and policy perspective, adaptation primarily means: (i) ensuring that current
policies and procedures account for climate trends, variability, and uncertainty; and (ii) ensuring that, when
decision-makers receive new information from climate scientists in the future, they can appropriately act on
that information with the existing policies and procedures. One particularly relevant observation of adaptation
points out that it is not just about creating new policies, but about routinely considering how the future climate
may affect the outcomes of decisions, and using that understanding to make more informed decisions.
