This Plan aims at strengthening national resilience to evolving environmental conditions and it focuses primarely on the sectors of agriculture, water resources, health, and tourism. It identifies key climate related risks such as rising temperatures, irregular precipitation patterns, and an increased occurrence of floods and droughts as central challenges requiring coordinated policy responses.
In the area of resource management, the Plan addresses the need to maintain water availability and sustain agricultural production under changing climatic conditions. It highlights the importance of improving hydrological monitoring systems and introduces nature-based approaches, including water retention and floodplain management, to address both water shortages and excess. Within agriculture, the Plan outlines measures related to climate adapted farming practices, mitigation of heat impacts on livestock, and the conservation of ecosystems such as meadows and pastures, which play a role in supporting agricultural productivity.
The Plan also considers implications for public health and climate sensitive economic sectors. In the health sector, it emphasizes strengthening institutional preparedness for climate related risks, including heatwaves and changes in air quality, alongside the development of early warning mechanisms. For tourism, the Plan acknowledges vulnerabilities linked to seasonal variability and environmental changes, and proposes diversification strategies, including the development of rural and nature-based tourism, as well as infrastructure adjustments to accommodate shifting conditions.
In terms of monitoring, it introduces tools such as an “Indicator Passport” to support the tracking and evaluation of adaptation measures. The inclusion of socio-economic and gender disaggregated data is highlighted as a means of improving the accuracy of vulnerability assessments and informing decision making processes. This approach is intended to support the effective allocation of resources and the ongoing refinement of measures. The Plan further outlines an implementation framework that distinguishes between short-term priority actions for the period 2025–2027 and longer-term objectives extending to 2035. It identifies potential funding sources, including international climate finance, and underscores the role of coordinated institutional efforts in implementing adaptation measures.

The Plan includes an Action Plan as its integral component. It covers the period 2025–2027 and provides concrete measures, timelines, responsible institutions, and indicative costs.
