Czech climate adaptation and tourism resilience

Overview

An OECD study titled ‘Tourism Trends and Policies 2026’ indicates that the Czech tourism industry must shift investment priorities toward climate resilience. The report suggests moving away from traditional infrastructure, such as new hotels, in favor of fire prevention, flood defenses, slope stabilization, and upgraded transport to manage extreme heat, wildfires, and heavy rain.

While there is an increasing willingness among Czech municipalities to invest in climate change adaptation, local governments face significant systemic barriers. A survey of 300 municipalities found that 69% cite a lack of funding as a primary obstacle, 60% point to complicated property rights, and 51% struggle with the complexity of subsidy programs. Challenges vary by project scope: municipal projects are hindered by legislation and subsidies, whereas landscape-scale projects are primarily obstructed by difficulties in accessing or cooperating with private landowners.
