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.

Mitigation

Mitigation-conditional: Outcome is measured by an emissions-referenced measure, OR is produced by a mitigation intervention; NOT mitigation when it is a plain level or quantity result not framed against emissions or removals.
