Adaptation and mitigation for combating climate change – from single to joint

Introduction: Adaptation and mitigation are two main approaches to combating climate change. Mitigation is considered as the most important tasks in dealing with climate change in scientific research, financial support and technical practices as global warming intensifies; while currently the warmin...
