  Adaptation and Mitigation are two possible response options to the problem of human induced climate change. While Mitigation deals with the reduction of the emissions of greenhouse gases adaptation deals with coping with the impacts of human induced climate change. In the last ten years or so of the UNFCCC negotiations the focus has been almost exclusively on mitigation (in order to prevent the problem from getting too big) but in recent years (specially since COP7 in Marrakech and COP8 in Delhi) the issue of Adaptation as an important response option has been highlighted (specially by the developing countries-e.g. in the Delhi Declaration at COP8). The discussion will bring out some of the aspects of similarities and differences between Adaptation and Mitigation as response options to the climate change problem.
