Counts as adaptation

System is exposed to a climate hazard, OR is acted on by a hazard-addressing intervention, OR benefits from a qualifying outcome or an adaptation-specific impact; NOT adaptation when named only as the sector or commodity of work, with no exposure and no hazard-addressing action on it.

Example of use

Stress-tolerant maize and flood-tolerant rice target exposed crop systems in climate-risk-prone environments. | Climate context: exposed to climate hazards affecting crop performance.
