Abstract

Climate change is a fact that must be faced by people on earth. In addition, climate change is not only a consumption of academics, governments and business people simply because this topic has become a public discussion because its effects are felt directly and real. The mass media, both print, electronic and online also enlivened the topic of climate change by disseminating research findings related to climate change, including reporting on challenges, opportunities and community practices in efforts to prevent and adapt to climate change. Considering that the impacts are more extensive and significant, comprehensive, integrative and holistic handling is needed. data obtained through surveys. There are two main concepts introduced to deal with the effects of climate change, namely mitigation and adaptation. Mitigation and adaptation to climate change is an important effort to deal with the impacts of climate change. In short, mitigation means an effort made to prevent, contain and / or slow down the effects of greenhouse gases that cause global warming on earth. Contrary to mitigation, adaptation is more to the efforts made to adjust (community adaptation) to the impacts of climate change that have occurred and are felt by humans on earth. Mitigation alone is not enough, and just adaptation. Both of them have to go along. Therefore, both mitigation and adaptation are very important to be done together and integrated in dealing with climate change.
