In environmental policy, mitigation refers specifically to efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit climate change — as opposed to adaptation, which involves adjusting to its effects. In law, mitigation or mitigating circumstances are factors that may reduce the severity of a sentence. The phrase in mitigation is a standard legal expression.

在环境政策中，减缓特指减少温室气体排放以限制气候变化的努力——与'适应'不同，适应是指调整以应对气候变化的影响。在法律中，减轻情节是指可能减轻刑罚严重程度的因素。'in mitigation'（作为减轻情节）是一个标准的法律表达。

En política medioambiental, la mitigación se refiere específicamente a los esfuerzos por reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero y limitar el cambio climático, en contraposición a la adaptación, que consiste en ajustarse a sus efectos. En derecho, la mitigación o las circunstancias atenuantes son factores que pueden reducir la severidad de una condena. La expresión in mitigation es una fórmula jurídica habitual.

環境政策において、緩和とは温室効果ガスの排出削減や気候変動の抑制に向けた取り組みを指し、その影響に適応する「適応（adaptation）」とは区別される。法律では、緩和または酌量すべき事情として、量刑の軽減につながりうる要素を意味する。「in mitigation」は標準的な法律表現である。

환경 정책에서 완화(mitigation)는 특히 온실가스 배출을 줄이고 기후변화를 제한하려는 노력을 가리키며, 그 영향에 적응하는 것을 의미하는 적응(adaptation)과 구별된다. 법률에서 완화 또는 정상참작 사유는 형량을 감경할 수 있는 요인을 말한다. 'in mitigation'이라는 표현은 표준적인 법률 용어이다.
