Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation

The video tutorial introduces climate change mitigation and adaptation, explaining their roles in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adjusting to climate impacts. Mitigation involves actions like installing solar panels to decrease fossil fuel use, while adaptation includes building sea walls to protect against rising sea levels. Real-world examples, such as Bangladesh's use of flood-resistant rice, highlight these strategies' importance. The video concludes by emphasizing the need for sustainable practices to ensure a resilient future.
