Climate change impacts

It takes only 157 days for the average Canadian to produce as much greenhouse gases as the average Pole will produce over the course of the entire year.  Therefore, June 6th (157 days into the year) is "Climate Change Impacts in Poland Day."

Poland will experience the effects of climate change through several sectors. Poland’s agriculture will be impacted through effects such as reduced soil humidity or reduced yields due to increased pest infestations. Coastal zones will notice sea level changes, and water resources will be threatened with increases hydrological events such as floods and droughts. Forestry will also be impacted, through increased erosion and soil damage, as well as loss of biodiversity.
