Counts as adaptation

Intervention addresses a climate hazard, OR produces a qualifying outcome (adaptation-specific or hazard-conditioned), OR produces an adaptation-specific impact; NOT adaptation when done purely for productivity, market, or development with no hazard link and no hazard-referenced result.

Mitigation

Mitigation-conditional: Intervention reduces emissions of a source or gas, OR sequesters carbon, OR produces a mitigation outcome; NOT mitigation when done for productivity, market, or development reasons only, with no emissions link and no emissions-referenced result.

Example of use

Climate context: improves moisture retention and resilience to climate stress.
