Climate Change Mitigation Case Study

Introduction Adaptation and mitigation are two terms that may have very different meanings but in regards to climate change, are inherently interwoven. Mitigation refers to reducing the extent of climate change, and slow the process. A simple strategy of climate change mitigation, is to plant trees to absorb CO2 from the air. Adaptation involves efforts to limit human’s vulnerability to climate change impacts through various measures. Humans can adapt through building modifications and technology.
The following essays reviews three different scholarly articles on climate change adaptation and mitigation: “Case studies in co-benefits approaches to climate change mitigation and adaptation”, “Co-benefits of integrating climate change adaptation

Olden, and Joachim Voss have analyzed four different case studies in regards to the co-benefits approach to climate change mitigation and adaptation (working in mitigation and adaptation together). They also discuss the interdependent principles relevant to the implementation of co-benefits strategies: providing incentives across multiples scales and time frames, promoting long-term integrated impact assessment, and fostering multidimensional communication networks. I found this article to be important, because of the case studies they analyze. Located around the global, the studies respond to different climate change challenges and they engage unique conditions of that place. It is important to keep these differences in mind, as climate change is a global

One of the main contributors to anthropogenic climate change is agriculture, which makes this study so vital to understanding and implementing the joined efforts of mitigation and adaptation, as well as policymaking. Three questions that the researchers were hoping to be able to answer at the end of the study were: 1) Do farmers consider mitigation when managing the soil?; 2) What is the prevalence of adaption actin?; and 3) what is the connection, if any, between the perception of climate change risk and mitigation and adaptation actions, respectively? This was an internet-based study does through questionnaire. An internet-based study was viewed to be cost-effective, and more reliable than a mail survey. The questionnaire was developed and discussed with environmental social science researchers, researchers with expertise in agricultural sciences, advisors from SEGES (the Danish Knowledge Center for Agriculture) and four farmers. Socio-economic and farm information was also taken into consideration besides just the
