Climate change is one of the most pressing environmental challenges of the twenty-first century, and addressing it effectively requires a combination of strategies broadly categorized as mitigation and adaptation. While both approaches aim to deal with the impacts of climate change, they differ in their focus and methodology. Mitigation refers to efforts to reduce or prevent the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in order to limit the magnitude of future climate change. Adaptation, on the other hand, involves making adjustments in natural or human systems to minimize the damage caused by climate change or to take advantage of potential opportunities arising from it. Despite their differences, mitigation and adaptation are deeply interconnected and mutually reinforcing strategies that together form a comprehensive response to climate change. The interrelationship between mitigation and adaptation can be understood through the lens of risk reduction and sustainability. Effective mitigation reduces the severity of climate change, which in turn lessens the need for adaptation. For example, global efforts to reduce carbon dioxide and methane emissions can slow the rate of temperature rise, which may prevent extreme weather events such as heatwaves, droughts, and floods from becoming catastrophic. This reduction in climate extremes directly benefits adaptation efforts because communities and ecosystems face lower levels of stress and disruption. Conversely, adaptation measures can also support mitigation efforts. Practices such as sustainable land management, reforestation,
