We use the term ] to refer to business efforts and strategies that aim to achieve a better fit with a changed external environment. Adaptation to climate change is defined by the ] on Climate Change as:

Adjustment in natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli or their effects, which moderates harm or exploits beneficial opportunities.

Given that adaptation has just recently been embraced, examples of it tend to be limited to infrastructure and technological efforts adopted by vulnerable companies like ski resorts that produce artificial snow. However, business adaptation to climate change can include a wide variety of strategies such as: diversification at the product, service and geographic levels, mergers and acquisitions of competitor com- panies, government lobbying for friendlier adaptation restrictions and incentives, and purchasing of insurance and other financial hedging instruments.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Rivera |first=Jorge.
