Faced with the increasingly severe reality of global climate change, some countries choose to prioritize funding for climate change mitigation measures (such as reducing carbon emissions), while others advocate allocating equivalent resources to climate adaptation strategies (such as building flood defenses and developing drought-resistant crops). Under the practical constraint of limited resources, which priority do you believe should become the dominant approach for the international community? Please articulate your position and support your argument with specific examples from countries or regions.
