Climate adaptation is the process of people adjusting to the seasonal effects of climate change. 

​​

     For Montana, adaptation aims to moderate or avoid harm from excessive heat, water shortage, and forest fire smoke.

​

     Adaptation involves structural approaches.

• Reforestation of natural habitats,

• planting native grasses in fallow fields and towns,

• a sharp decline in the use of pesticides and herbicides,

• light-coloured surfaces on roofs,

• increased building insulation, and

• rooftop solar panels. ​
