European Definitions
ENISA
Mitigation is the limitation of any negative consequence of a particular event (refers to ISO/IEC Guide 73). [1]
CLIMATE-ADAPT
Mitigation: An anthropogenic intervention to reduce the anthropogenic forcing of the climate system; it includes strategies and measures to reduce greenhouse gas sources and emissions and enhancing greenhouse gas sinks. [2]
Examples of mitigation measures are renewable energy technologies, waste minimization processes and public transport commuting practices, etc.
EU Project
The EU EURAM project defined Risk mitigation as:
Action of reducing a risk by implementing security controls, taking assurance measures, avoiding the risk, or transferring the risk to another party. [3]
Other International Definitions
CARICOM
UNDRR
The adverse impacts of hazards often cannot be prevented fully, but their scale or severity can be substantially lessened by various strategies and actions. Mitigation measures encompass engineering techniques and hazard-resistant construction as well as improved environmental policies and public awareness. It should be noted that in climate change policy, “mitigation” is defined differently, being the term used for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions that are the source of climate change.
Mesure d’atténuation: La réduction ou la limitation de l’impact négatif des aléas et des catastrophes. [6]
Митигация: Уменьшение или ограничение отрицательного воздействия угроз и связанных с ними бедствий. [7]

减轻 - 减轻或最大限度地减少一次危害事件的不利影响。[12]
说明：通常无法完全避免灾害、特别是自然灾害的不利影响，但可以通过各种 战略和行动大大降低其程度和严重性。
减轻措施包括工程技术和抗灾建筑，以 及改善环境、社会政策、提高公众认识。应当指出，“减轻”在气候变化政策 中的定义不同，该术语用于表示减少作为气候变化根源的温室气体排放。

Dominican Republic
Mitigación: en el contexto del cambio climático, es la intervención humana para reducir las fuentes o aumentar los sumideros de GEI. [21]
Los ejemplos incluyen el uso de combustibles fósiles de manera más eficiente para los procesos industriales o de generación de electricidad, el cambio a la energía solar o eólica, la mejora del aislamiento de los edificios y la ampliación de los bosques y otros “sumideros” para eliminar de la atmósfera mayores cantidades de dióxido de carbono.
El Salvador
Mitigación (reducción): Planificación y ejecución de medidas de intervención dirigidas a reducir o disminuir el riesgo. La mitigación es el resultado de la aceptación de que no es posible controlar el riesgo totalmente; es decir, que en muchos casos no es posible impedir o evitar totalmente los daños y sus consecuencias y sólo es posible atenuarlas. [22]

Ireland
Mitigation is a part of risk management and includes all actions taken to eliminate or reduce the risk to people, property and the environment from the hazards which threaten them. [25]
(climate change) Mitigation can be defined as an anthropogenic intervention to reduce the anthropogenic forcing in the climate system; it includes strategies to reduce GHG sources and emission and enhancing greenhouse sinks. [26]
