The Czech government, following a two-week summer recess, convened to discuss measures for combating extreme drought and water retention. Minister of Agriculture Martin Šebestyán affirmed that climate change is “undisputable” and stated the government is committed to fighting it. These efforts will be spearheaded by the newly formed National Coalition Against Drought, comprised of government representatives and expert specialists. The coalition will convene after the cabinet meeting to outline specific plans. Discussions center on implementing strategies to mitigate the impacts of ongoing and potential future droughts across the country. The government's renewed focus signals an acknowledgement of the growing threat posed by climate change to the Czech Republic’s water resources.
