Abstract

This chapter presents the current understanding on adaptation needs and its rationale for public health planning. Evolving criteria for guiding adaptation responses and developing an understanding of the economic basis for adaptation decisions are essential for effective adaptation. Historical experiences in adapting to hazards, standard protocols and consensus based international guidelines and learnings from country specific experiences are brought together to frame the domains of an effective adaptation strategy that can address ongoing and new challenges. The role of socioeconomic and technological factors, awareness, political will and institutional capacity in determining the effectiveness of any desired response to vulnerabilities is discussed.
