Information from Governance Regulation reporting on adaptation (2023, 2021)

Health and hygiene are amongst the priority areas identified in the Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change in the Czech Republic (NAS, 2021) which are expected to be the most affected by climate change in Czechia.

One objective in the National Action Plan on Adaptation to Climate Change (NAP, 2021) is focused on the resilience of human settlements (including the vulnerable groups), one on the early warning systems and the responsible reaction.

The NAP outlines health adaptation measures, including ensuring adequate medical infrastructure for epidemic emergencies, implementing early warning systems for water- and vector-borne diseases, and providing information to strengthen decision-making around health risk situations.

Departmental organizations engaged with climatology and climate change at the level of science and research, as well as on the preparation of strategic documents and the preparation of respective measures, are managed by the Ministry of Health (State Health Institute), together with two other ministries.

Information from EEA report. Climate change and health: the national policy overview in Europe (2022)

National policies on climate change adaptation and national health strategies were analysed to identify the coverage of climate-related impacts on health (physical, mental, and social) and the types of interventions addressing them. The report provides a European overview, while the geographical coverage of various aspects of national policies across Europe can be visualized using the map viewer. The results for Czechia are summarised here.
