Czech Republic: National program to abate the climate change impacts
The National Program is focused on setting of the main 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 in CR and to promote sustainable development.
In the sense of the National Program, additional measures are understood to be prepared measures, i.e. implementation of the National Program of clean energy management and use of renewable and secondary energy sources, such as the complete implementation of Act No. 406/2000 Coll., on management of energy, the prepared environmental tax reform and advantageous purchase tariffs for energy produced from renewable sources.
Adaptation measures are intended to prepare natural and anthropogenic systems to gradually changing climatic conditions; however, in contrast to reducing emissions, they will not act against the increasing impacts of the greenhouse effect.
