| Description | Governor’s Advisory Group On Global Warming
The Advisory Group distinguishes between “mitigation” of greenhouse gas emissions (actions that will reduce emissions and their warming effects) and “adaptation” to global warming (those actions necessary to cope with the warming effects that are already unavoidable). Nearly all the actions included in this Strategy are mitigation actions intended to arrest and reverse the growth of such emissions, eventually reducing them to levels compatible with historically stable global climate patterns. ... However, Oregonians and their counterparts in other states and countries will also face adaptation questions, even if the mitigation actions are all adopted and implemented vigorously. ... The Advisory Group believes the next task, once Oregon has determined its near-term mitigation course, will be to identify adaptation actions, set an adaptation strategy and implement it. This task is beyond the charter of this Group, but final recommendations include encouraging the Governor to assemble a successor group of citizens and government agencies to take on this next great challenge. |
