• Reducing vulnerability to
climate variability is a good
starting point for adaptation
• Seek no-regret options; avoid
maladaptation
• Assess what hazards people
are most vulnerable to, and
how will climate change affect
them
• Help build readiness to adapt
into organizations, including
community and local-
government structures.
