Climate Change Is Already Here: Rethinking Adaptation, Mitigation, and Policy Synergy
In this episode of KOMITMEN Podcast, moderator Sirojuddin Arif sits down with Prof. Michiel Schaeffer to unpack one of the most urgent challenges of our time: climate change is no longer a distant threat, it is already happening. Together, they explore the key differences between climate mitigation and adaptation, and why both must go hand in hand. The conversation dives into how we can build meaningful synergies between adaptation, mitigation, and sustainable development to create policies that work across multiple sectors and governance levels. They also highlight a critical issue often overlooked by governments worldwide: the underinvestment in addressing physical climate risks, and what this means for our future. Tune in for an insightful discussion on shaping smarter, more integrated climate policies that can truly make an impact.
