| Résumé : | The adaptation of nature protection areas to the impacts of climate change has several implications for European and member states’ environmental law. The Natura 2000 system constitutes a ‘coherent European ecological network of special areas of conservation’, consisting of protected areas for birds and habitat types. These protected areas are designated and maintained at the member state level. To strengthen resilience, European policies for biodiversity conservation and climate change adaptation require enforcement and enhancement of the existing legal framework. We have compiled the relevant policies and examined the adaptive capacity of the Natura 2000 system (Birds and Habitats Directive) and the Water Framework Directive. On this basis, the general requirements of adaptation to the impacts of climate change in environmental law were identified. The European directives for nature conservation and water management were then tested with respect to the realisation of these principles. In a second step, differences in implementation in seven Central European member states were compared. This led to the evaluation of strengths and weaknesses of the existing legal framework, and to suggestions concerning future policy making and legislation in the field of climate adaptation. |
