- contribute to gaining an overview of applicable methodologies in the development of adaptation strategies at the local and regional level
- to obtain up-to-date information on current adaptation processes in Slovakia, including the possibility of obtaining funds for the implementation of specific measures (Ministry of the Environment of the Slovak Republic and Ministry of Agriculture of the Slovak Republic)
- familiarize yourself with the selected climate change adaptation strategies and the steps leading to their implementation at the regional level (Košice Region) and at the local level (Zvolen, Košice)
For several decades, the public has been informed about the consequences of climate change. Slowly but surely also at the national, regional and local level, we realize that climate change will not bypass us even here in the "heart of Europe". In order to make a good decision about what it would be appropriate and necessary to undertake, to do to adapt to the changing climate, or how to prevent it, in Slovakia we have developed the "Adaptation Strategy of the Slovak Republic to Climate Change" since 2014, updated in 2018.
