Glossary

Adaptation:

An adaptation is an adjustment made in response to an actual or expected climate that moderates or avoids harmful impacts. Adaptation can be divided into incremental and transformational actions. Incremental adaptation refers to relatively small changes and actions that affect a system while maintaining its integrity, while transformational adaptation includes changes and actions that affect the fundamental attributes of a system [10].

Air Pollution:

Air pollution is “a mix of particles and gases that can reach harmful concentrations both outside and indoors” [12]. Determining the harmfulness of substances is not always straightforward. For example, some substances that are toxic have been found to have beneficial effects in low quantities [13], while for others there may be no safe dose. A pertinent example is that carbon dioxide is a natural part of the atmosphere and is exchanged with the biosphere via photosynthesis thus fertilizing plants but clearly there...
