The National Adaptation Strategy contains several objectives, including: dissemination of information and knowledge on the issue of adaptation at all levels of management, as well as for the general public; strengthening of the institutional framework for adaptation processes in the Slovak Republic; developing a comprehensive risk assessment methodology in the context of climate change from the national to the local level; development and application of methodologies for the economic assessment of different adaptation measures (macroeconomic impacts); and the development and implementation of a specific tool for the selection of investment priorities based on an assessment of the cross-sectoral aspects of adaptation measures.
The main objective of the updated adaptation strategy (2018) is to increase resilience and improve the preparedness of the Slovak Republic to face the adverse effects of climate change and establish an institutional framework and coordination mechanism to ensure effective implementation of adaptation measures at all levels and in all areas.
