Objectives:

At the completion of this module, you should be able

to:
1.discuss climate change adaptation and mitigation
concepts;
2.design appropriate climate change adaptation and
mitigation measures.

INTRODUCTION
Climate change means the difference in the
Earth's global climate or in regional climates
over time. It is about abnormal variations to
the climate, and the effects of these
variations on other parts of the Earth.

What do you
understand about
Climate Change
Adaptation and
Mitigation?

6
◍ The goal of mitigation is to avoid
significant human interference with the
climate system, and “stabilize greenhouse
gas levels in a timeframe sufficient to
allow ecosystems to adapt naturally to
climate change, ensure that food
production is not threatened and to enable
economic development to proceed in a
sustainable manner”

Observe the given picture below and answer the process question that follows.

◍ How could mitigation and adaptation deal
with climate change?
◍ What is the best way to mitigate climate
change?
◍ What are climate change adaptation
measures?
◍ What is adaptation and mitigation?

Some Climate Change Mitigation and
Adaptation Strategies
 1. Energy efficiency.
◍ This involves the efforts to reduce the
amount of energy required to provide
products and services. For example,
insulating a home allows a building to use
less heating and cooling energy to achieve
and maintain a comfortable temperature.
11
 2. Energy conservation
◍ It is the effort made to reduce the consumption
of energy by using less of an energy service.

12
 3. Lifestyle change.

◍ higher consumption lifestyles have a greater

environmental impact.
◍ Several scientific studies have shown that people,
especially those living in developed countries have
to reduce their carbon footprint, through a change
in lifestyle and behavior.

13
 4. Reforestation and Afforestation.
◍ Reforestation is the replacement of forests
denuded by human activities.
◍ Afforestation is where there was previously no
forest - such plantations are estimated to have to
be prohibitively massive to be reducing emissions
by itself.

14
 5. Carbon capture and storage (CCS).

◍ It is a method to mitigate climate change by

capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from large point
sources such as power plants and subsequently
storing it away safely instead of releasing it into
the atmosphere.
