Slovenia
Climate change impacts
It takes only 160 days for the average Canadian to produce as much greenhouse gases as the average Slovenian will produce over the course of the entire year. Therefore, June 9th (160 days into the year) is "Climate Change Impacts in Slovenia Day."
Based on climate models, Slovenia is expecting an increase in air temperature between 1 and 4°C in the first half of the 21st century.
According to Slovenia's Fourth National Communication under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the most likely climate changes will be "towards warmer and drier summers, warm winters with a similar quantity of precipitation and a higher frequency of extreme weather events. The impact of climate change will be wide ranging. The higher temperature, different water balance and more frequent extreme weather events will affect agriculture, forests will be exposed to increased stress, biodiversity will be threatened, the threat of floods will increase and there will be problems ensuring the supply of drinking water, risks in Alpine and other mountainous areas will increase, while the rise in sea levels and sea temperature will threaten coastal areas.”
