    "en": "An intervention provides an adaptive capacity benefit if it increases the ability of a person, population, or system to manage climate impacts or realize an opportunity emerging from climate change, including by transforming how and where they live. This can happen even if that population, person, or resource remains exposed to and very sensitive to a climate impact, though typically increasing adaptive capacity facilitates productive efforts to lower exposure and sensitivity. <p>Source: <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.crm.2023.100479\">Carr and Nalau, 2023</a>.

    "en": "- Investments in extension services often increase farmer knowledge and access to agricultural resources. In places where the climate is marked by increasing variability, extension services can help farmers understand how to interpret seasonal forecasts such that they select appropriate seed varieties for likely seasonal conditions. In this example, the extension services provide an adaptive capacity benefit, while the seeds the farmers learn how to access provide a sensitivity benefit. \n- Investment in local planning capacity can yield improved zoning and land management in urban areas, allowing municipalities to avert impacts like flooding by reducing the land use driver of this challenge. Here, the investment in improved planning is an adaptive capacity benefit, which yields an exposure benefit by improving the quality of zoning and land management to reduce flooding.\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.crm.2023.100479\">Carr and Nalau, 2023</a>.
