Climate Change Effects: Expert Recommends Mitigation, Adaptation Strategies(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – An agrometeorologist, Dr Adewale Adetayo, has recommended mitigation and adaptation strategies as part of measures to reduce the effects of climate change on the environment. He said mitigation was designed to reduce the severity and prevent the global warming phenomenon while adaptation strategies were aimed at assisting the vulnerable to cope and reduce the effects. According to him, mitigation strategies include improved practices in agriculture and forestry, reduction of fossil fuel energy utilisation and switching to cleaner renewable energy sources. The expert added that mitigation strategies included ensuring energy efficiency in industrial, residential and commercial areas, and restructuring urban planning and development (especially transportation and buildings). Adetayo noted that agriculture, feeding the entire human population, was also under threat due to climate change.
