Abstract

Disasters and extreme weather events currently have a growing tendency in the frequency of occurrence and also in the severity of the impacts. The main cause is climate change, the manifestations of which will become more and more extreme. The costs of dealing with natural disasters and the consequences of extreme weather events in terms of loss of life and damage to social, economic and environmental assets are expected to become increasingly high. The current situation therefore requires a prompt reaction and a change of attitudes towards the given issue, mainly from the point of view of the state, but also of the population itself. The article examines the attitudes of the population towards climate change and analyses (1) people-s perception of the need to implement adaptation measures and (2) barriers to adaptation to climate change. For the analysis are used the questionnaire survey results. Initial results indicate that the adaptation measures of the population are affected by various barriers, but in the long term, the respondents consider the need for adaptation to be important.
