The inter-sectorial Climate Change Coordination Mechanism led by the National Commission on Climate Change, including the M&E component (under approval), combined with the National Adaptation Planning process, is expected to be a high-impact national strategic initiative specifically addressing climate change. The number of climate-induced disasters in the Republic of Moldova is increasing54; for this reason, additional efforts are required, first of all, to: (i) strengthen the forecasting capacities of severe weather conditions; (ii) increase disaster preparedness and emergency response; (iii) implement adaptation measures in agriculture and other highly-exposed sectors55. This situation needs to be addressed in order to allow adequate response to dangers and other challenges of the evolving climate.
