Adaptive capacity in the context of climate change covers human, natural, or managed systems. It looks at how they respond to both climate variability and extremes. It covers the ability of a system to adjust to climate change to moderate potential damages, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with consequences. [11]
Climate change adaptation is the process of adjusting to the effects of climate change. These can be both current or expected impacts. [1] Adaptation aims to moderate or avoid harm for people, and is usually done alongside climate change mitigation. It also aims to exploit opportunities. Humans may also intervene to help adjust for natural ...

Peterson received a Ph.D. in 1980 from the University of Illinois, and has published over 200 scientific papers [2] in dendroclimatology, ozone air pollution, climate change and adaptation to global warming, and decision support systems for fire management. He was invited to serve on the board of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ...
Adaptation finance aims to respond to the consequences of climate change. [36] Globally, there is a much greater focus on mitigation, accounting for over 90% of spending on climate. [37] [38]: 2590 Renewable energy is an important growth area for mitigation investment and has growing policy support. [39]: 5

Non-Annex countries are developing and particularly vulnerable to climate change due to location, economic situations, or other issues institutionalized into the country. Another title is "least developed countries". [13] This indicates that the nation is limited in their ability to respond to climate change issues.
It is adaptive in that the individual and collective behavior mutate and self-organize corresponding to the change-initiating micro-event or collection of events. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It is a "complex macroscopic collection" of relatively "similar and partially connected micro-structures" formed in order to adapt to the changing environment and ...
