Climate change adaptation refers to adjusting to the effects of climate change, like extreme weather events and rising sea levels. It involves reducing vulnerability and minimizing potential harm, while also capitalizing on new opportunities. Adaptation strategies can be implemented across sectors such as infrastructure, agriculture, and public health, and can involve both human and natural systems.

Carbon-based fuel is any fuel principally from the oxidation or burning of carbon. Carbon-based fuels are of two main kinds, biofuels and fossil fuels. Whereas biofuels are derived from recent-growth organic matter and are typically harvested, as with logging of forests and cutting of corn, fossil fuels are of prehistoric origin and are extracted from the ground, the principal fossil fuels being oil, coal, and natural gas.
