Climate Change Adaptation Strategies: Evidence-Based Solutions for a Sustainable Future. AI-Generated.
In 2022, catastrophic floods submerged one-third of Pakistan, displacing over 33 million people and devastating livelihoods (United Nations, 2022). That same year, Europe recorded its hottest summer, fueling wildfires and thousands of heat-related deaths (World Meteorological Organization [WMO], 2023). These events underline an urgent reality: climate change is no longer a forecast for the future but a crisis of the present. While global mitigation efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions remain essential, adaptation strategies—actions designed to adjust societies, economies, and ecosystems to new climate realities—are equally critical for survival and resilience.
