Counts as adaptation

Outcome is measured against a climate hazard (e.g. yield under drought), OR is produced by a qualifying intervention, OR an adaptation-specific principle or cross-cutting concept applies to it; NOT adaptation when it is a plain level or quantity result not framed against a climate stressor.
