 However, climate change also provides an opportunity for developing countries to adopt a development pathway that is climate resilient and less carbon-intensive — one that promotes clean, efficient energy technologies and the sustainable management of natural resources such as land, water and forests. Such a development pathway would help reduce the exposure of the vulnerable communities in developing countries the adverse impacts of climate change, while at the same time contribute to the global greenhouse gas emission reduction efforts.

 '''Climate adaptation''' refers to the ability of a system to adjust to climate change (including climate variability and extremes) to moderate potential damage, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with the consequences.<ref name="global greenhouse warming - http://www.global-greenhouse-warming.com/climate-mitigation-and-adaptation.html">global greenhouse warming - http://www.global-greenhouse-warming.com/climate-mitigation-and-adaptation.html</ref>
-Whereas mitigation of climate change is a well-established topic since the very beginning of international climate negotiations, adapting to climate change related impacts has only recently climbed the agenda of the international climate discourse. In the '''Third Assessment Report (AR3)''' by the [http://www.ipcc.ch/ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)] adaptation to climate change was broadly adressed for the first time on the highest political stage.
