适应以前被视为对气候变化的某种失败主义反应，现在被视为任何气候政策的重要组成部分（Pielke等人，2007年）。这种兴趣的增加主要有三个原因。首先，气候变化的影响已经被观察到，由于自然系统的滞后，更多的影响是不可避免的（Burton等人，2002年）。第二，减缓反应缓慢而不充分，使适应变得更加必要（Reid和Huq 2007）。第三，发展中国家政府意识到它们可能承受气候变化的最大物理影响，因此越来越多地要求在国际舞台上更加关注适应问题。
Previously viewed as a somewhat defeatist response to climate change, adaptation is now seen as an essential component of any climate policy (Pielke et al. 2007). There are three main reasons for this increase in interest. First, that the impacts of climate change are already being observed and, because of lags in the natural system, more impacts are inevitable (Burton et al. 2002). Second, that mitigation responses have been slow and inadequate, making adaptation all the more necessary (Reid and Huq 2007). And third, aware that they are likely to bear the greatest physical impacts from climate change, governments in developing countries are increasingly demanding greater attention to adaptation on the international stage.
