Difference between Climate change mitigation and Emission intensity

Climate change mitigation vs. Emission intensity

Climate change mitigation consists of actions to limit the magnitude or rate of long-term climate change. An emission intensity (also carbon intensity, C.I.) is the emission rate of a given pollutant relative to the intensity of a specific activity, or an industrial production process; for example grams of carbon dioxide released per megajoule of energy produced, or the ratio of greenhouse gas emissions produced to gross domestic product (GDP).
