Polish National Strategy for Adaptation to climate Change (SAP 2020)

Executive

Strategy

Adaptation Framework

Passed in 2013

The SAP 2020 foresees mainstreaming the adaptation programme into sectoral policies, primarily those related to agriculture and forestry, biodiversity, ecosystems and water resources, coastal zones, infrastructure and, subsequently, the preparation of a draft programme for their implementation.

The Strategy presents an analysis of current climate change and the development of future change scenarios for Poland up to the end of the 21st century. It also assesses the impact of expected change in the socioeconomic area, and the vulnerability of various sectors of the economy.

The implementation of the SAP 2020 involves 3 stages: the elaboration of the Strategic Adaptation Plan taking into account climate change in the reference period of 1971-2000; the preparation of the Strategic Adaptation Plan for a long-term period, taking into account expected climate change up until 2070-2100; and cost estimation.
