In an ideal world we would stop climate change in its tracks – this is called mitigation. Mitigation is any action which helps to reverse or slow climate change either by:
Decreasing greenhouse gas emissions OR
Removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere
However, climate change is already happening. This means mitigation will simply not be enough, especially without large-scale national or international climate action. Therefore, we will need to adapt to the existing and future effects of climate change.
