Abstract
- The most pronounced observed climate change is the rising surface temperature of the Earth. In view of extreme weather events, existing risks and possible consequences, adaptation to the adverse effects of climate change has become a global challenge in recent decades. The interaction between climate change and its possible consequences is a complex and very dynamic system that needs a great deal of information to be properly managed. These facts were also reflected in the Council of the European Union, which approved that at least 20% of the Union's budget will be used for activities in this area in the 2014-2020 programming period. The topic of adaptation to climate change is extremely actual not only in the world, but also in Slovakia. It is in the interest of all of us to identify and implement and at least mitigate the economic and social consequences of climate change. Thanks to European powerful implementations, the Slovak Republic is also implementing numbers of adaptation measures and activities. They focus on early warning and better preparedness for the territory of emergencies, reduction of landslide risk, reinforcement of emergency management or technical and institutional support for rescue modules. The aim of this paper is to identify and explore the tools and measures that are being implemented in the Slovak Republic in the 2014-2020 programming period, particularly with a view to increasing the effectiveness of comprehensive emergency management affected by climate change.
