Research & Systematic Observations (IX)Vulnerability Assessment, Impacts and Adaptation Measures (VII)National Climate ProgramCZECH REPUBLIC presented by Jan Pretel Czech Hydrometeorological Institute, Prague UNFCCC Workshop on 3rd NC’s, Bonn, 28.2.-2.3.2001
Parts VII and IX of the 3.NC National Climate Program (establ. 1990) • improve scientific cooperation on national level • 1st national project 1991-1992 • US Country Study Programme 1993-1996 • several small projects supported by Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Agriculture, Czech Academy of Sci., Charles University, Czech Grant Agency, etc. • Decisions 14/CP.4, 5/CP.5 • preparatory phase of new national project 1999 • 2nd national project 2000-2001(Science&Research Project) • focused on IPCC TAR and 3rd NC

Hydrology and Water Resources • effects on streamflow, groundwater recharge, runoff, water quality • temperature increase by 2oC ~ streamflow reduction by 10-15% due to evaporation • flood magnitude and frequency in some regions • water quality degradation • potable water production and consumption
Hydrology and Water Resources • adaptation • water resource management techniques • effective use of water • trade with water • reduction of water shrinkage • water use reduction in industry, energy, agriculture sectors and households • part of State Environmental Policy • sustainable development
Agriculture • crop yield respons to climate change • shift to more thermophilic crops • effect of plant heat stress (extreme temperature events) • less moisture in growing season • heavy rain periods (june, september) erosion • crop modelling assessment
Agriculture • modelled climate change effect • CO2 increase: corn +24%, wheat +33% • T + CO2 increase: corn +16%, wheat +31% • adaptation • agrotechnical management • adjustment to planting dates • fertilization rates • irrigation applications • selections of plants, species
Forestry • 22% of territory covered by forests (spruce 54%, pine 18%) • climate change effects on forests • dry stress • combined effects (air temperature + soil moisture + local air quality) • adaptation • change of tree species, shift to foliate trees, integrated forest protection • changed forest management
