Climate Change National Adaptation Strategy and Action Plan

The project consists in developing a comprehensive Climate Change National Adaptation Strategy and Action Plan, which shall cover the period to 2030. The strategy will serve as a reference document, setting a framework for adaptation action and priority directions, identifying and confirming the need for climate action both at economy-wide and sectoral level. The Strategy will be based on the framework document “National climate change risk and vulnerability assessment for the sectors of the Bulgarian economy”, adopted in June 2014 as a first step of the development of the Strategy. The Natioanl Adaptation Strategy: 1) Provides analysis of the current situation in the sectors: Agriculture, Forestry, Ecosystems and biodiversity, Water, Transport, Construction and Infrastructure, Human health, Urban environment, and Tourism; 2) Set goals and priorities for improving adaptation capacity, presented by sectors; 3) Defines specific measures to achieve the goals laid down in the Strategy. The Action Plan will summarize the adaptation measures for all sectors identified in the Strategy in order to attain the strategic goals by focusing on implementation of priority adaptation measures, including consideration of implementation, responsible institutions, resources, terms ,time bound targets and monitoring indicators.
