Mitigation refers to actions taken to reduce the likelihood or severity of a risk, hazard, or negative impact, a concept applied broadly across fields such as project management, cybersecurity, disaster planning, and environmental policy (e.g., climate change mitigation). In risk management frameworks, it's one of several standard response strategies alongside avoidance, transfer, and acceptance. Professionals develop mitigation plans to proactively address identified risks before they materialize into larger problems.
