Much of the older terminology and concepts are unchanged in climate change adaptation (CCA), such as incremental adaptation, but in addition a number of newer terms have been adopted such as 'transformational adaptation' .\n\n'Climate resilience' is another newer term which in some circles means the same thing as adaptation. The promotion of resilience \"offers the opportunity for more holistic and proactive responses” (O'Brien et al., 2011) based on local knowledge and capacity. United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UN/ISDR) has also adopted the term resilience, describing coping and recovery processes and but also the ability to adapt/change. According to Mitchell and van Aalst (2009) climate change adaptation has much more visibility, funding and political momentum than does disaster reduction, presenting an opportunity for DRR to be linked with the more advanced climate change agenda (having mechanism for international negotiations, having legally binding accord, financing in place etc.). However, despite often being used interchangeably in policy and academic discourse, LSE (2022) highlight key differences between adaptation and resilience: 'adaptation refers to a process or action that changes a human system so that it is better able to survive in a new system. Whereas, resilience refers to the capacity and ability to anticipate and cope with shocks, and to recover from their impacts in a timely and efficient manner'.\n\nAdaptation is increasingly discussed in terms of two different but potentially complementary approaches:\n\nIncremental adaptation: Adaptation actions where the central aim is to maintain the essence and integrity of a system or process at a given scale.\n\nTransformational adaptation: Adaptation that changes the fundamental attributes of a system in response to climate and its effects.\n\nAdaptation limits - the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 ºC describes adaptation limits as the point at which an actor’s objectives (or system needs) cannot be secured from intolerable risks through adaptive actions.\n\nHard adaptation limit: No adaptive actions are possible to avoid intolerable risks.\n\nSoft adaptation limit: Options are currently not available to avoid intolerable risks through adaptive action."]},"narrower":[{"id":"http://connectivity-hub.com/terms/378f688b-c915-4d22-b810-2bad51c51257","prefLabel":{"en":"Acclimatisation"}},{"id":"http://connectivity-hub.com/terms/1ad853de-11a5-4467-a33d-1726a101af90","prefLabel":{"en":"Adaptation
