  1. National adaptation strategies, vulnerability and adaptation research activities in Slovak Republic Pavel Šťastný Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute pavel.stastny@shmu.sk Third EIONET workshop on Climate Change Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation, EEA, Copenhagen, 30June – 1July 2009

  2. National Climate Programme (NCP)(since1993) NCP started with activities: • recent and projected climate change impacts • vulnerability assessments and adaptation in sectors: Water, Agriculture, Forestry, Biodiversity No national adaptation strategy Third EIONET workshop on Climate Change Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation, EEA, Copenhagen, 30June – 1July 2009

  3. low (38%) medium (34%) high (28%) Water resources vulnerability in SlovakiaExample of NCP results Third EIONET workshop on Climate Change Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation, EEA, Copenhagen, 30June – 1July 2009

  4. Adaptation measures in governmental documents Water • Flood-protection programme in SR till 2010 (1999) • Water management policy concept of SR till 2015 (2006) – “no regret” principles • Implementation strategy of the water framework directive in SK (2006) Third EIONET workshop on Climate Change Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation, EEA, Copenhagen, 30June – 1July 2009

  5. Recent activities I The Fifth National Communication of the Slovak Republic on Climate Change, 2009 (Under preparation) • Special chapter on impacts, vulnerability and adaptation measures • Sectors: Water, Forests, Agriculture, Biodiversity, Tourism, Transportation Third EIONET workshop on Climate Change Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation, EEA, Copenhagen, 30June – 1July 2009

  6. Recent activities II New project of SHMI: Climate Change Impacts andPossible Adaptation Measures in Various Sectors in Slovakia Start: 09.2009End: 12.2011 Objectives: • Assumption of climate change impacts on nature and human sectors till 2100 • Vulnerability assessment of individual sectors • Identification of key vulnerabilities • Adaptation measures design (socio-economic approach included) • Preparation of the National adaptation strategy Third EIONET workshop on Climate Change Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation, EEA, Copenhagen, 30June – 1July 2009

  7. Project coordination SHMI Climatological,phenological and hydrological data SHMÚ Agriculture E c o n o m i c s Forestry Water management Human Health Climate scenarios Tourism Biodiversity Energetics Transportation Regional assessments, Vulnerability (sensitivity) SHMI project scheme Third EIONET workshop on Climate Change Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation, EEA, Copenhagen, 30June – 1July 2009

  8. Climate change impacts/vulnerability/adaptation issues in some sectors Water Adaptation measures • New water paradigm creation – negation of hydrological regime stationery axiom • Influence on water supply and energy production: redistributing of discharge between North and South, inter-annually and inter-seasonally. • Inter-disciplinary approach – socioeconomic sectors projections equivalent to climate, or hydrology projections Third EIONET workshop on Climate Change Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation, EEA, Copenhagen, 30June – 1July 2009

  9. Climate change impacts/vulnerability/adaptation issues in some sectors Biodiversity Synergic effect of some parallel, entirely independent on climate changes: • Trade globalisation with biological commodities (importation of agriculture pests) • New trends in tourism (importation of new parasites and their vectors) • Land-use changes (former agriculture land degradation) • European legislative changes (e.g. cadavers checking) • Exotic animals keeping (mostly terrarium and aquarium) Third EIONET workshop on Climate Change Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation, EEA, Copenhagen, 30June – 1July 2009

  10. Climate change impacts/vulnerability/adaptation issues in some sectors Forestry Recently realised and planed adaptation and mitigation activities in: • Genetics and forest tree improvement • Silviculture and forest production management • Forest conservation (biotic, abiotic noxious agents) • Forestry policy and legislation Third EIONET workshop on Climate Change Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation, EEA, Copenhagen, 30June – 1July 2009

  11. Climate change impacts/vulnerability/adaptation issues in some sectors Transportation Adaptation measures • Railway transport support • Shift of the roads into higher positions • Multimodal corridors planning Third EIONET workshop on Climate Change Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation, EEA, Copenhagen, 30June – 1July 2009

  12. Climate change impacts/vulnerability/adaptation issues in some sectors Tourism Vulnerability assessment • Most vulnerable: Winter tourism in lower altitudes • Profit of summer tourism (water sports and recreation) Third EIONET workshop on Climate Change Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation, EEA, Copenhagen, 30June – 1July 2009
