Pick one of the changes that are predicted to occur from the list in the effects section. Try to think of different adaptations to prevent or reduce the impact of that change.
If you know that changes to the environment will happen, it is smart to prepare for them even if you don’t know exactly when they’ll happen or what the outcome will be.
Scientists agree that the climate is changing, and will continue to change for some time into the future. Efforts to stop climate change are important, but so are efforts to adapt to new climate conditions.
Change is coming
Areas of the world that are now feeling the effects of climate change, such as the North and low lying countries, have already had to adapt.
Adaptation means to change the way you do something to reflect the changes in your surroundings. It is necessary to adapt to reduce the risks of climate change, and to reduce the vulnerability of people, land and wildlife to the changes that will possibly occur.
