How we can adapt to climate change - all over the world? | Start here with Climate Adaptation

The climate is changing, and we need to change with it. A great number of things are already going well. What can we learn from successful examples from around the world? And... what can you do yourself to adapt to the changing climate?

The weather is becoming more and more extreme. And everywhere, in every part of the world, people are making heroic efforts to reduce emissions and limit global warming. This is called "climate mitigation". But... that is not enough. We have no choice but to adapt to the changing climate. NOW.

"Climate adaptation" means that we will be less vulnerable to rising sea levels. To floods, extreme heat and food shortages. And certainly also to water shortages, with devastating consequences for agriculture and nature. And for ourselves.

Good news! In fact, we have always been able to adapt. Now we have to speed things up considerably. We need to adapt - now! In this video you can see many examples of people and countries that are already successfully adapting to climate change.

And can you do something yourself? Yes, definitely! That's quite simple - and cheap. For example, take a tile out of your garden. Or put a rain barrel on your balcony. Every action, no matter how small, helps.

Climate adaptation concerns us all. And we will all benefit from adapting.

Our planet is getting warmer, with growing impact on our societies and economies. The need to adapt to new climate extremes is driving actions that connect challenges with solutions.

Our planet is getting warmer, with growing impact on our societies and economies. The need to adapt to new climate extremes is driving actions that connect challenges with solutions.

At the online international Climate Adaptation Summit 2021 in January, hosted by the Netherlands, global leaders launched a comprehensive Adaptation Action Agenda, with clear commitments to deliver concrete new endeavours and partnerships to make our world more resilient to the effects of climate change.

Over the course of 24 hours, a range of online events from all time zones inspired change and supported tangible solutions to the problems of a warming world, showing how we can achieve a climate-resilient future.

The commitment from all across the globe is the starting point. Fighting climate change is a collective responsibility whereby the highly industrialized nations that release high volumes of green gasses should take the lead in resource mobilization for implementation of climate change strategies and projects. Without resources and commitment, little can be done to mitigate the worsening climate change impact.

It is quite informative documentary. Thanks for sharing.

[elifimsk]

Wow, this video was so well-presented and packed with information. Subscribed !

[raphlvlogs]

we should also expose ourselves to more hot and cold conditions in order to better adapt to extreme weathers.

[kelvin_s_mweemba]

Informative piece. Came across this because of the GLA - MAY 2024 Program.

Global school community could come forward to save the future.

the 1 most adaptable to changes survives.

[raphlvlogs]

adapting to climate change is more economical and feasible than mitigating it from the source.

[Nataq]

Which career specializes in giving climate adaptation measures?

[indilah]

you are such a sweet Lecturer, hope to be like you once I get job.

[SuperTonyony]

Why do we have to "adapt" to climate change caused by rapacious capitalism? Why not simply abolish rapacious capitalism?

I had to write a response to this video for a class, and thought that I should post this here:

"I think that the majority of the video's ideas are flawed. There seems to be a lack awareness or knowledge of what is actually possible given real-world constraints, such as money, time, and culture.

An idea that the video kept returning to was that we should just change where we are planting certain types of crops, or just change the kinds of crops entirely. While I agree with the premise, there are major issues with this, mostly on the ecological side. Often, soil conditions in areas where farming has not already been occurring are not suitable for growing crops. Additionally, we have to be wary of what happens to an environment when a new plan is introduced. Are there associated pests that will also migrate and damage the logo ecosystem? Does the new place have the necessary infrastructure to support the growth, storage, and distribution of this crop? Are the people in these areas even willing to transition their land into new farms? I recognize that this is where it might be argued that this is why we need to adapt, but in my opinion, there are simply too many things that all need to be changed at once to get the vast majority of people on board.

This also connects to another of the video's ideas, where its suggested that a city's street infrastructure be rebuilt so that it could better withstand flooding. Once again, I totally agree with the premise, but it seems to ignore the fact that this is not a city simulation game. In order for something like this to happen, first, the city would need to summon the money for the project, which would likely be in the billions of dollars. Then, you would need to disrupt the commutes and lives of several million residents, many of which have much more urgent concerns. Additionally, a project like this would take years to complete, another resource that we are currently short on.

At the end of the day, I appreciate optimism of this video. I just cannot remove myself as easily from reality."

Ok but like, electric car no go vroom.

At minute 2:58, asking people affected by climate change to dig deeper into their pockets is quite dishonest.

[TheDemonation]

theres a water marker at the beach here and it is the same as it was for over 40 years no raise in ocean hear

[Sringdithaosen]

😞I am doing my part to minimize the use of those stuffs that harm nature but what about others🥲🙏🙏
