Climate Change

Climate change affects Central Europe more intensely than the global average. We cover Slovak agriculture, water management, energy pricing, and the policy response from both Brussels and national governments.

Quick facts

• Central Europe is warming faster than the global mean — roughly 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels.
• The EU Green Deal targets climate neutrality by 2050, with a 55 % emissions cut by 2030 as the interim goal.
• In Slovakia, the largest climate impacts hit forestry, water resources and agriculture.
