Greenhouse Effect:The natural process by which certain gases (such as carbon dioxide) trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, acting like a blanket. However, human activities have intensified this effect, resulting in global warming.
Mitigation:Actions taken to reduce or prevent greenhouse gas emissions and minimize the impacts of climate change. Examples include transitioning to renewable energy sources and implementing energy-efficient practices.
Adaptation: Strategies and measures implemented to adjust or cope with the effects of climate change. This can involve building seawalls against rising sea levels or developing drought-resistant crop varieties for agriculture.
