On the ground that climate change poses a great threat to societies and economies, it became evident for policy makers that attention should be given to the problem of adaptation, i.e. adaptation measures should be undertaken to minimize the adverse impacts of climate change. As the debate on the adverse impacts of climate change advanced at international level, states are taking actions at national, regional and local levels. Along with the increase awareness regarding importance of adaptation, regulations designed to prepare states to strengthen their resilience to climate change, has been developed in climate change treaties. Paris Agreement seems to be the first global agreement which addresses adaptation as one of its key goals and links it with mitigation efforts. The purpose of this article is to discuss the most important regulations and programmes within the regime established by the Framework Convention and the Paris Agreement concerning adaptation to climate change.

鉴于气候变化对社会和经济构成巨大威胁，政策制定者显然应关注适应问题，即应采取适应措施以尽量减少气候变化的不利影响。随着关于气候变化不利影响的辩论在国际层面取得进展，各国正在国家、区域和地方层面采取行动。随着人们对适应重要性的认识不断提高，旨在让各国做好准备以增强其对气候变化的适应能力的法规已在气候变化条约中制定。《巴黎协定》似乎是第一个将适应作为其主要目标之一并将其与减缓努力联系起来的全球协定。
