What is the difference between compound and cascading impacts in climate change?
cascading is domino effect from one event
Describe the reactive and proactive adaptation
1. In response to observed conditions
2. Mitigating against the damages that have already occured
3. Low uncertainty
4. Eg. Diversification of Crop , water managemetn etc.
Proactive:
1. In anticipation of future climate change
2. Planning for damages that may occur in the future
3. High uncertainty
4. Eg dykes for lfood protection
