the compendium of adaptation models for climate
... Adaptation is essential to decreasing the current and unavoidable impacts from climate change. The net benefits of adaptation are experienced earlier than those of mitigations as they are immediate (Berkhout, 2005). While mitigation measures can be implemented now, the residence time (atmospheric li ...
