In order to avoid climate change and the resulting consequences, two different directions are proposed: reducing greenhouse gas emissions (mitigation actions) and preparing for the unavoidable impacts (adaptation actions).
The main goal of this integrated approach is to enable the design of policies that can effectively limit the contribution of human activity to environmental change, to facilitate adaptation to unavoidable change, and to understand the consequences of the deployment of large-scale energy systems that will be needed to meet growing energy needs.
By understanding the complex interactions of human society with our planet, the goal is to aid in the design of policies that can effectively limit the contribution of human activity to environmental change, to facilitate adaptation to unavoidable change, and to understand the consequences of the deployment of large-scale energy systems that will be needed to meet growing energy needs.
Once a trigger constraint is violated, the adaptation is unavoidable.
Participants reaffirmed that the risks posed by climate change require a strong commitment to mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, adaptation to unavoidable climate change and development of low-carbon energy sources independent of whether climate intervention methods ultimately prove to be safe and feasible.
Studying the diurnal and seasonal regulation of its transcriptome is fundamental to understand environmental adaptation mechanisms, and unavoidable to advance research into important characteristics controlled by diurnal and seasonal rhythms, such as wood formation, growth in height, and flowering.
Contrary to typical engineering designs, biology exploits unavoidable variability to ensure robustness and adaptation to changing environments.
The funding of adaptation activities to respond to unavoidable climate change has emerged as a major theme in climate change negotiations.
The negotiators adopted the Cancun Adaptation Framework, which establishes an adaptation committee and a work program to address unavoidable climate impacts in vulnerable countries.
The executive order also stated that state agencies should prepare an assessment of the impacts of climate change on the state as well as an assessment of the state's adaptation needs in the face of unavoidable climate change.
Consideration of host evolution under unavoidable parasitic pressures, including helminthes, bacteria, viruses, etc., predicts adaptations that help protect hosts against the parasites associated with mating.
