CarpathCC Climate Change Framework Project

Preliminary assessments of potential climate change impacts in the  Carpathian Region identified key vulnerabilities being lack of water due to increasing drought tendency, increasing frequency of heat waves and changing flood conditions, which effects on ecosystems and related production systems, e.g. agriculture, forestry and tourism. To successfully address these vulnerabilities – besides infrastructure investments –, ecosystem – based adaptation measures and actions leading to the increase of societal resilience will be required.
