Abstract

The Program To Abate the Climate Change Impacts lays down the climate protection strategy of the Czech Republic and has been developed in accordance with the requirements of Council Decision 99/296/EC. The Program provides national targets and appropriate policies and measures to ensure meeting of the reduction emission targets to the maximum possible degree in the sense of international agreements to reflect existing and future social and economic conditions and to promote sustainable development. A number of policies and measures are being implemented in the Czech Republic to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These consist in both framework measures and measures concentrating on a certain aspect or sector. Adaptation measures consist of a set of potential adaptations of a natural or anthropogenic system to an actual or expected climate change and its impact. The Program is composed of the following Sections: Introduction (Sec. 1); Climate change and its global impacts (Sec. 2); Climat change as an international issue (Sec. 3); Climate change and its impacts in the Czech Republic (Sec. 4); Greenhouse gas emissions in CR in 1990 to 2001 (Sec. 5); Greenhouse gas emissions in CR to 2030 (Sec. 6); Policies and measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (Sec. 7); Adaptation measures (Sec. 8); Costs of greenhouse gas emissions reduction (Sec. 9); Targets and priorities in the Czech Republic in the area of climate change (Sec. 10).
