Abstract

Presentation deals with socio-economic aspects of climate change, especially extreme weather events impacts on society. We also explores societal responses for such events in the form of coping, adaptation strategies, including threat of maladaptation. We focus on household level and examine how do residents perceive selected environmental issues and what are the main adaptation strategies to the selected climate change impacts and manifestations, such as droughts, floods and other natural extremes.
