Climate Change Adaptation
It is difficult to mitigate Climate Change. Better to start with adaptation.
Adaptation
means
to
adjust
your
management
in
such
a
way
that
you
will
be
less
affected
by
the
impact
of
climate
change.
Now
is
climate
change
something
that
is
variable
from
place
to
place.
It
is
therefore
necessary
to
identify
the
possible
impact
of
climate
change:
warmer
summers
or
just
colder
winters,
dryer
but
more
heavy
rains
in
summer,
Based
on
this
knowledge
the
possibilities
of
climate
change
adaptation
can
be dentified. The possibilities can be devided in policy measures and management.
On
political
level
a
choice
can
be
made
to
adjust
the
agricultural
information
service
to
adjust
the
types
of
crop or varieties, stimulate investments in alternative crops or added value chain.
On
management
level
decisions
are
in
case
of
livestock
for
example
the
feed
stock,
date
of
selling,
choice
of
new varieties, move from arable farming to husbandry.
Also other sectors will be affected like water purification
Nature
protection
has
to
adapt
their
management
to
support
the
bidiversity
by
their
adaptation
to
the
climate
or to survive it for exapmple by enlarging ecotopes and connect them in a Ecological Network (ECONET).
