    Solution

    "Alleviate" means to reduce or lessen the severity of something, which fits with the context of mitigating the impact of climate change. "Intensify" means to make something stronger, "ignore" means to pay no attention to, and "abandon" means to leave, all of which do not align with the intended meaning of addressing climate change impacts.
