This program offers a comprehensive examination of climate adaptation. After identifying the role of mitigation in slowing the impact of climate change, the video shifts its attention to adaptation. Interviews with climate scientists effectively explain what’s involved and present compelling and convincing reasons how and why the world collectively must focus efforts in dealing with climate change on adaptation. A number of case studies help illustrate two key commonalities in successful adaptation strategies - sustainable development and resilience.
This video supports curriculum at the secondary level that explores climate and climate change. It would serve as an excellent prequel to student action on climate adaptation within their own community.
