English term or phrase: mitigation
Environmental guidelines:
in the context of potential damage to the environment from certain industries, mitigating measures that can be taken to reduce it:
tindakan pencegahan, peredaan, peringanan, pengurangan atau apa? trims
justine fitzgerald
langkah-langkah pengurangan or upaya-upaya pengurangan
Explanation:
Literally, mitigation is more to "pengurangan" (reducing something that's already happened), not "pencegahan' (prevention).

However, if the context is Potential damage, then we can use the word "pencegahan"

"Peredaan" means that something terrible has happened, in it is now easing down, and seldom used in the context. "Peredaan" is more to lowering down the pain, and acts of violence (floods, war, fire, riots, etc).

Just for your options: "langkah" or "upaya" sounds nicer than "tindakan" (action). It is widely used in the Indonesian media.

Thus; the translation are: "langkah-langkah pencegahan yang dapat diambil untuk menguranginya adalah..."

Good luck
