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: Principle applies to a mitigation intervention or outcome; NOT mitigation when applied as a generic sustainability value, with no mitigation intervention or outcome to attach to.
