A coastal city implements a plan to build sea walls and elevate buildings in response to rising sea levels. This action primarily falls under which category of climate change response?

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) Climate Change Adaptation.
• Adaptation involves adjusting systems to reduce harm from climate impacts.
• Sea walls and elevated buildings protect against coastal flooding.
• These measures do not reduce emissions but reduce vulnerability.
Information Booster:
• Adaptation strategies are crucial for coastal and island cities.
• Often funded through climate resilience programs.
• Complements mitigation, not a substitute for it.
Additional Knowledge:
• Mitigation focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
• Geoengineering involves large-scale climate interventions.
• Carbon sequestration captures and stores CO₂.
