Good adaptation

These principles suggest that good adaptation is founded on the engagement of an informed community with a willingness and ability to adapt. They also suggest that good adaptation requires an understanding of, and the ability to articulate, the objectives of the required action; an understanding of adaptation measures, including their feasibility; and a desire and willingness to see continued success through responsive and appropriate adaptation. Furthermore, the suggestions of implementing appropriate adaptation options (adaptive, no/low regrets and win-win), avoiding inappropriate actions, and adopting a continuous improvement approach are consistent with the precautionary approach (Rio Declaration, principle 15).
