Adaptation describes how countries will adapt to a variety of climate change conditions: rising sea levels, severe storms, flooding, intense wildfires, droughts,
Loss and Damage is the idea that compensation should be paid to vulnerable states for climate-related events to which they cannot adapt.
Climate change affects where we can grow food, how much water we have, and where we can build our homes. And we’ll face new challenges: firefighters will need to battle longer and more intense forest fire seasons; our public health officials may need to manage diseases that are not currently a problem; and city planners will need to encourage development away from areas we like to live, such as on coastlines and riverfronts. This will cost money.
