Which is a correct example of adaptation to climate change?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Improving a flood warning system
Adaptation means adjusting people, infrastructure, or ecosystems to actual or expected climate impacts in order to reduce vulnerability and damage. An improved flood-warning system gives communities time to evacuate, protect property, and prepare emergency services. Burning coal or fuel and cutting trees increase emissions, so they are neither adaptation nor mitigation. Therefore, C is correct.
