This will be achieved through the design of a national vulnerability monitoring program for infrastructure during floods, drought, landslides and sea level rising which may all be aggravated by the adverse impacts of climate change. Environmental Health as an Adaptation Measure. With the understanding that environmental health in all of its components (Basic Sanitation, Integrated Waste Management, Water Quality for human consumption, sewers, storm drains and dangerous substance controls) is a condition needed to reduce future vulnerabilities of human population and wildlife, Costa Rica commits to, by 2030, increase the sewer and storm drain coverage, maintenance and sustainability up to a 90%; and set an environmental health surveillance program, by 2018, to follow up on pathologies associated with climate change.
"Environmental health as an adaptation measure: Recognizing that environmental health in all of its components (basic hygiene, management of waste, monitoring water quality for human consumption, sewers for sanitary waste and rainwater, control of dangerous contaminants) is a mean to reduce the vulnerability of human and wild animal populations, the country commits to increase by 2030 the coverage, maintainence and sustainability of sewer systems for sanitary waste and rainwater Human Health Mainstreaming climate risks in health policies and programs, including on health infrastructure, and health systems and at the same time establish a health monitoring system in the year 2018 that will track pathogens associated with the effects of climate change" (18).
