Protection of natural systems
Diversification of landscape and landscape structures – ensuring the heterogenic ecosystems, increased diversity of vegetation and of morphology, ensuring the dynamic natural processes
Public awareness and information policies
Increasing public awareness about the importance and impact of climate change on biodiversity to protect environment and natural ecosystem, and on possible adaptation options
Improvement of informing of professionals on climate change impacts and possible adaptation options
Public relations
Increasing public acceptance
Reevaluation of measures
Re- evaluation of flood protection and water structures taking into account climate change impacts
Referring to WFD and FD as guidances

Regional planing
Caring for and protection of existing forests (in terms of the landscape, habitat type, succession, species and gene), along with the preservation of natural values and processes; conversion of forests that are not suiting to the given habitat and contain non-native species
Regional planning
Making extensive use of all available potentials to achieve a considerable expansion of retention areas and to provide effective long-term protection against the flood risks
Improvement of the opportunities for rainfall to soak away naturally by reducing new land take of open spaces for settlement and infrastructure
Provision of planning support for restoration, unsealing, restoration
