Most climate strategies try to do too much at once.
That’s where things slow down.
At our Climate Risk Roundtable with GIST Impact, one idea stood out. Adaptation and mitigation aren’t interchangeable, and treating them that way creates confusion, not progress.
Adaptation is immediate and site-specific. It protects assets and drives real, measurable impact.
Mitigation is broader. It depends on policy, markets, and long-term shifts.
Mix them together, and priorities blur. Separate them, and decisions move faster.
That shift is what turns climate strategy into something actionable.
