As development and adaptation are closely intertwined, assessing the benefits of adaptation by focusing only on how it reduces climate impacts could lead to misleading policy advice. In some cases, trying to minimize climate impacts could lead to inferior outcomes. It is preferable to explore how policies influence the absolute level of metrics of interest in scenarios with climate change rather than to focus on how they influence incremental climate impacts.

关注不同情景的差异可能会导致糟糕的适应政策建议

由于发展和适应密切相关，只关注如何减少气候影响来评估适应的好处可能会导致误导性的政策建议。在某些情况下，试图将气候影响降到最低可能会导致较差的结果。最好探索政策如何影响气候变化情景中感兴趣的指标的绝对水平，而不是关注它们如何影响增量气候影响。
