While both the countries embrace the consequences of climate change, Pakistan suffers more due to its small resilience and resources to adapt to climate variability.
Adaptive capacity is the ability of a system to adjust to climate change, including climate variability and extremes, to moderate potential damages, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with the consequences.
A concept related to adaptation is "adaptive capacity", which is the ability of a system (human, natural or managed) to adjust to climate change (including climate variability and extremes) to moderate potential damages, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with consequences.
The research defined 'adaptive capacity' as the ability of a system to adjust to climate change (including climate variability and extremes), to moderate potential damages, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with the consequences [ 17].
However, the most recent definition adopted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is 'the ability of a system to adjust to climate change (including climate variability and extremes) to moderate potential damages, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with the consequences' (19, 20).
Climate adaptation refers to the ability of a system to adjust to climate change.
Taking steps now to adjust to current climate variability and modifying existing programs to address the anticipated impacts of climate change will make future adaptation strategies more effective (Ebi et al. 2006).
Analyses of the associations between climatic anomalies and disease patterns highlight current vulnerability to climate variability.
Hypoxia is clearly linked to climate variability.
