As the heatwave is currently sweeping across Europe, we are wondering whether we are sufficiently prepared for the new climate change. Although humans have managed to live in various extreme conditions for thousands of years, today most of us live in a temperate zone, but recently with a continuous increase in temperature, which is threatening our health and the natural environment. Research shows that, in addition to the implementation of regional and national guidelines, it is equally important to actively involve citizens and use their local knowledge about the environment in which they live. Therefore, a more detailed development of local approaches to climate change involving citizens and various associations that cooperate with state and public administration can contribute to a more successful response to new climate conditions and a more stable future.
