摘要

The chapter will present ideas on how to respond to the climate challenge, contained in policies and strategies at the national and regional levels in Poland. Poland provides an interesting case study: in the current situation, Central and Eastern Europe is subject to relatively less climate change than other parts of the world. As a result, discussion of the need for climate challenges is often blocked and limited. The chapter will present key trends found in national documents and selected regional and local documents. It will be analysed how detailed Polish strategies and policies at various levels approach climate challenges and whether the formulated demands are too vague and actually implemented. Conclusions and obtained assessments will be referred to the universal discussion. The authors will answer the question of how much the temporary lesser perceptibility of climate change in a country limits the debate and actual implementation of climate goals. Research on climate challenges in Poland is closely linked to global efforts. Polish climate strategies are part of international goals such as the Paris Agreement, the European Green Deal and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Poland participates in international research projects, uses global tools and models, and contributes its own experience, especially in the context of energy transition and regional climate challenges. The issues identified in the chapter, which are relevant from a climate perspective, link very strongly to the sphere of land policy and sustainable development. The shaping of green spaces and the response to rapid changes in weather patterns translates into spatial policies that determine the approach to land policy.
