17. SUMMARY In Russia the rate, the incidence, and scale of droughts and floods are increasing in the last time. Climate change negatively affects human development by worse fundamental pre-requisites for health. One of reduction energy consumption ways is Green Building, because buildings are responsible for more than 40% of the total primary energy consumption and for 24% of global carbon dioxide emissions. Russia need to develop a comprehensive adaptation program of vulnerable regions and populations, which should take into account the peculiarities of manifestation of natural disasters in the areas, as well as specific mechanisms and methods of adaptation vulnerable people to them.
