Slovak Republic Climate Resilience Policy Indicator
…1990. Warming is expected to be uniform across the country, with minor variations by locality. Heatwaves, as well as the number of days with maximum temperature above 30°C, are also expected to increase towards the end of the century. This rise in average temperature is affecting energy demand, reducing winter heating needs but increasing summer cooling. Unsurprisingly, the number of heating degree days (HDDs) in the past two decades has fallen and cooling degree days (CDDs) have increased. According to the climate change impacts, vulnerability and adaptation assessment of the Slovak Republic’s Seventh National Communication on Climate Change, the…
