Figure TS.4 | There are options for risk reduction through adaptation. Adaptation can reduce risk by addressing one or more of the three risk factors: vulnerability, exposure, and/or hazard. The reduction of vulnerability, exposure, and/or hazard potential can be achieved through different policy and action choices over time until limits to adaptation might be reached. The figure builds on the conceptual framework of risk used in AR5 (for more details see Cross-Chapter Box 2 in Chapter 1).
