From a climate change action perspective, however, a myopic focus on mitigation is unwarranted, as the argument first advanced in the mid-1980s has increasingly gained ground, that mitigation efforts would be insufficient to anticipate the human impacts on the global climate [11].
Adaptation — strengthening levees and sea defenses, safeguarding water and food supplies, preparing for more intense heat waves — has long been a touchy subject among advocates, who warn that it signals resignation, or a false sense of security (that we can continue adapting indefinitely), and that it steals resources from the all-important focus on mitigation.
Conventional production optimization methods focus on mitigation of geological risks related to the long-term net present value (NPV).
According to Indonesia's INDC, the government will focus on mitigation actions such as ecosystem conservation and restoration, coastal zone protection, and reduction of forest degradation and deforestation.
Other points of focus include Mitigation Bypass (things that break Microsoft's security sandboxing) and Bounty for Defense, Windows Defender Application Guard, Microsoft Edge and, most notably, Windows Insider Preview, the company's early access program for Windows 10 builds.

As a consequence of the focus on mitigation, research on optimal strategies to cope with climate change did not take adaptation into account the first model that quantified the economic impact of climate change (Nordhaus 1994) only enabled the possibility of mitigating emissions.
The results of this study offer evidence to the threat of the fine and coarse particles emitted from dolomite lime manufacturing, allowing policy-makers to better focus their mitigation strategies in an effective way, as well as to the dolomite producers for the purpose of designing and/or implementing improved emission controls.
In the New York Times today, Dr. Keiji Fukuda, deputy director general of the World Health Organization, is quoted as saying on Monday, "Containment is no longer a feasible option... "The world should focus on mitigation.
However the focus on mitigation takes on a global focus, whereas the consequences of climate change have regional implications and thus adaptation solutions tend to be state-based.
