As there is a different perspective between the developed world and the developing world as to what is preferable or urgent, whether mitigation or adaptation, there is also a palpable difference between how adaptation is conceived and developed in both realities. Identifying these variables that may hamper climate change adaptation before implementing actions can be very useful for implementing proper climate change adaptation.
