There is a lack of clarity as to how adaptation should be conceptualized in the context of international climate policy under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). I identify two divergent conceptions of adaptation that have been articulated in the context of international climate policy---the climate impacts conception and the development conception. I then provide an analytical framework for evaluating these conceptions. This framework, which is based on Sally Haslanger's ameliorative analyses of concepts, explicitly considers the legitimate purposes that a conception of adaptation ought to serve. Using this framework, I examine how well each conception would serve what I argue is the legitimate objective of adaptation policy under the UNFCCC. I then identify and develop a conception of adaptation---the rectification conception---that I argue is better-suited to serve the legitimate objective of adaptation policy under the UNFCCC than either the climate impacts conception or the development conception.
