. Built infrastructure: Current built-infrastructure adaptation interventions are mostly reactive  rather than preventive , mainly due to limited resources within most vulnerable households for investing in proactive measures . For cities in North Asia seeing per- mafrost thawing, adequate land-use practices, permafrost mon- itoring, maintenance of infrastructure and engineering solutions  may temporarily offset the negative effects of permafrost degradation in small, economically vital areas, but are unlikely to have an effect beyond the immediate areas . Importantly, thawing permafrost and GHG emissions create feedbacks where emissions amplify warming and drive additional thaw. Reducing these impacts through mitigation will reduce the need for adapta- tion significantly .
