Warming of the Earth's climate requires that human economic activity adapt to the concomitant changes, especially in permafrost areas. The authors suggest adaptation as an effective mechanism for environmental management, which allows both nature conservation and increased resilience and stability of the created infrastructure to climate change. The adaptation model for the economic development of Subarctic territories involves a number of sequential procedures based on in-depth knowledge of the laws governing development of the cryosphere, forecasting of temperature changes, and the state of permafrost areas. The article provides examples of adaptation technologies used in solving economic problems in Russia's Subarctic zone.
