National Definitions
Australia
Adaptation to climate change refers to adjustment in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli or their effects, which moderates harm or exploits beneficial opportunities. Various types of adaptation can be distinguished, including anticipatory and reactive adaptation, public and private adaptation, and autonomous and planned adaptation.
Brazil
Denmark
Klimatilpasning modererer skaden eller udnytter fordelene ved klimaforandringer. Der findes forskellige former for tilpasning heriblandt naturlig og planlagt tilpasning.

Germany
Es können verschiedene Arten von Anpassungen unterschieden werden, darunter vorausschauende und reaktive, private und öffentliche, autonome und geplante Anpassung. Beispiele sind die Erhöhung von Fluss- und Küstendeichen, der Einsatz von Pflanzen, die besser mit Temperaturschocks umgehen können.
The measures cover a wide range. Some take precautions, others respond to changes that have already taken place. Some are initiated by the state, others by private organisations or affected individuals. Some occur independently, others are planned.
Jamaica
(States of) Jersey
In human systems, adaptation seeks to moderate harm or exploit beneficial opportunities. In natural systems, human intervention may facilitate adjustment to expected climate and its effects.
Jordan
Kiribati
Adaptation means doing something new or different to what you, your family, or the community did in the past in order to adapt to climate change.
Adaptation refers to efforts to protect against climate change impacts. (World Bank 2000)
Mexico
La adaptación al cambio climático se refiere a los ajustes en sistemas humanos o naturales como respuesta a estímulos climáticos proyectados o reales, o sus efectos, que pueden moderar el daño o aprovechar sus aspectos beneficiosos. Se pueden distinguir varios tipos de adaptación, entre ellas la preventiva y la reactiva, la pública y privada, o la autónoma y la planificada.

These changes moderate harm or exploit beneficial opportunities and can be in response to actual or expected impacts. There are various types of adaptation, such as:
- Planned adaptation – the result of a deliberate policy decision, and most likely include action that is required to return to, maintain, or achieve, a desired state.
- Maladaptation – could mean either (1) any changes in natural or human systems which inadvertently increase vulnerability to the hazards of climate change; (2) an adaptation that does not succeed in reducing vulnerability but increases it instead; (3) spending a disproportionate amount of effort and investment on adaptation beyond what is required.
- No regret (adaptation) options – could be activities which would provide immediate economic and environmental benefits and continue to be worthwhile regardless of future climate. They
would be justified under all plausible future scenarios, including without climate change.
