We reduce emissions to reduce long-term damage from climate change. We adapt to reduce near-term damage from climate change. New open access paper discussing how emissions mitigation and climate adaptation are complementary approaches to reducing climate damage: www.nature.com/articles/s43...
Chart showing timescale for return on investment in emissions abatement is on the order of a century whereas the timescale for return on investment in adaptation is about a decade or two.
