Counts as adaptation

Climate risk counts as adaptation when the text attributes it to climate change, climate variability, or a named climate hazard (for example climate-induced, climate-driven, exacerbated by warming, or due to changing rainfall), OR when it is the stated target of an adaptation-specific intervention, climate service, or early-warning action; NOT adaptation when it is described as a routine pest, sanitary, food-safety, land-management, or general social or economic problem with no climate framing.
