Interim measures are temporary actions taken to address a situation while a more permanent solution is being developed. These measures are often used in legal contexts, such as during a court case, to protect the rights of parties involved or to maintain the status quo until a final decision is made. In various fields, including business and environmental policy, interim measures can help mitigate risks or prevent further harm. For example, a company might implement interim measures to ensure safety while waiting for a comprehensive safety review to be completed.
