🌍 Adaptation or mitigation - what’s the difference, and why does it matter? 🎥 Watch our video to explore how both approaches respond to the impacts of a changing climate and why adaptation is key to building climate resilience. Mitigation focuses on reducing emissions to slow climate change. Adaptation helps people respond to its effects - like floods, fires, and extreme heat - which are already happening. We need both. While we address climate change through mitigation, we must also adapt to the changes affecting and disrupting people's lives. At the Z Zurich Foundation, we work with communities to adapt and build resilience. This means supporting people and co-creating solutions that fit their realities and needs. Climate action is about the future. And it’s about what we do now. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eE8PZv2F
Human needs are limited, but desires are endless. In the race to fulfill personal ambitions, we’ve over-scratched nature—and the cost is climate change. Sadly, those who contribute the least, the poor and honest, face the harshest impact. Time to shift from extraction to balance, and from profit to sustainability.
