Debate:THW Adapt to Climate Change

Supporters argue that adaptation is necessary to protect lives, infrastructure, and the economy from the impacts of flooding and heatwaves. Preparing for these changes can help reduce long-term costs and enable communities to remain resilient as the climate continues to evolve. Such changes should be prioritised over unrealistic attempts at a "Zero Carbon lifestyle"

Opponents argue that focusing on adaptation may encourage acceptance of climate change and reduce efforts to cut emissions. They also believe adaptation can be costly and unfair, and that resources should instead be focused on preventing climate change in the first place. Moreover, net-zero goals are necessary benchmarks for preventing catastrophic climate change
