Exploration of Adaptation – Mitigation Synergies

10/2020 | Report

[Translate to English:]

This overview brief explains mitigation and adaptation linkages by applying the Resilience Gap Model. The energy sector of Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS) has been chosen as an example to study the practical applicability of the model’s assumptions and predictions of the theoretical model, for instance that adaptation and mitigation action represent two sides of the same coin when climate action is aimed at building resilience.
