title: [Human adaptation to climatic changes].
abstract: The causes for the currently predicted change in climate result from behaviours of the rapidly growing human population consuming more natural resources for fulfillment of more natural resources for fulfillment of basic needs and high demands on health and comfort and interfering with homeostasis mechanisms of nature beyond adaptive capacities. Human adaptive potential is considered and strategies for adaptation are outlined aiming at an equilibrium between human and natural systems by behavioural modification, without loss of basic needs for health.
