Climate change is the greatest challenge facing humanity and the planet now faces, and is in our hands to cope through mitigation and adaptation.
The adaptation is responding to climate impacts that are already occurring and will occur due to the historical accumulation of GHG (greenhouse gases) in the atmosphere.
In cities adaptation tries to moderate or prevent damage that can occur with high probability and exploit beneficial opportunities.
