a comparative study of biodiversity conservation coping with climate
... Addressing climate change requires two types of responses. Firstly, and importantly, we must reduce our greenhouse gas emission (take mitigation action) and secondly we must take adaptation action to deal with the unavoidable impacts. The severity of the impacts of climate change varies by regions. ...
