t dedicated measures at all levels and to monitor their results using the DesInventar database and the Sendai Monitor Report. These tools should reflect the progress towards reducing impact and risks at national and local level. Even since the Sendai Monitor Report is being used since 2018, the data collection is not consistent and there is a need to standardize the process and to address specific institutional challenges in order to ensure the final results mirror the efficiency of the strategies and action plans in place. This need is currently being addressed by the GIES, by developing a national database for disaster loss and damage, starting from the UNDRRs DesInventar platform, as well as a national procedure for data collection and processing. This national mechanism will provide more accurate data and will ensure comparability between different data sets, thus offering a better view of the progress on reducing disaster risks. Several aspects are highlighting the progress in increasing the adaptive capacity in recent years: • The growing number of cities taking action under the Covenant of Mayors (16 cities currently, growing from 11 cities as of 2018); • The reorganisation of the National Commission for Climate Change (NCCC).via the Governmental Decision 26/2014, as a framework that enhances inter-ministerial coordination towards meeting Romania’s climate objectives. • The creation of a climate working group created under the Presidential Administration and the ongoing work ongoing in an Inter-ministerial Committee for Sustainable Development. • The relative high rate of mainstreaming and implementation of climate actions in the sectoral measures financed via the European Structural and Investment Funds. • The strengthening of join action on disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation at national level. • Recent incipient actions of the finance and banking sector to take into consideration climate risks in their risk assessments. • The ongoing implementation of adaptation measures, including capacity building measures that are part of the national climate action plan 2016 – 2020. From a total of 35 main studies from the NAP for the period 2016-2020, Romania has started 11 of them in different fields as follows: One study in the field of agriculture and rural development, three studies in the field of water and drinking water, six studies in the field of forestry and one study in the field of public health and emergency response services. All the studies stated above are targeting research and innovation and are addressing the barriers to adaptation. The results obtained within the RO-RISK project have been used, where appropriate, to improved the sectorial risk assessments and to better understand interlinkages between sectors and risks. Starting since 2020, GIES made efforts to address most of the challenges identified during the RO-RISK project: improvement of national risk assessment methodology to better include multi-hazard and multi-risk, as well as climate change and urban risk; development of a national methodology for disaster loss assessment to ensure proper and standardized evaluation of economical values of damages; development of a national database for disaster loss and damage accessible to all relevant stakeholders. Moreover, a series of multi-hazard and multi-risk scenarios will be assessed in order to get a clear view of the cross-sectoral issues and to upgrade the national plans and strategies on DRM/DRR. As mentioned before, at present Romania is revising its National Adaptation Strategy while also working at a new National Adaptation Plan. Moreover, at present, the authorities are working on a new Strategy for Disaster Risk Management. Currently, at the national level, there is no legal framework that obliges private entities and stakeholders to report directly to the line ministry responsible for the adaptation component, information on the plans/programs/projects carried out at the subnational level. Information regarding the adaptation actions at the sub-national level are presented on official channels such as the official websites of the various institutions that implement such actions. (e.g.Covenant of Mayors website, official UE websites that provide funding for adaptation actions Mission on Adaptation, National Administrative Teritoriale Units – websites etc.) MonitoringIndicatorsMethodologi L1 Description IndicatorsMethodology Link Cooperation_Experience L1 DescribeSynergiesAdaptation DescribeDetailShareInformation DescribeDetailCooperationEnhance L2 NMA within transnational collaboration between 14 partners from 9 different countries to the CAMARO-D project, developed an innovative transnational Guidance For Sustainable Land Use Planning (GUIDR) as a practically oriented decision support tool for the relevant stakeholders and decision-makers (http://www.interreg-danube.eu/approved-projects/camaro-d). NMA and 14 partners from 9 countries involved into an transnational cooperation (CAMARO-D) signed a common Declaration for Cooperation for the further develop various kinds of cooperation, acknowledging the importance of the coordination within the Danube river basin, taking into account the need for concerted actions and for promotion of the thematic field “protection of water resources and prevention of floods” for the general public while fostering the cooperation in the field of strategic policy. In the framework of the project “Joint Disaster Management risk assessment and preparedness in the Danube macro-region”, NMA collaborated for improvement of coherence and consistency among risk assessments undertaken by the countries at national and local level, and especially in case of disasters intensified by climate change in the Danube macroregion. In the framework of the SEERISK project a Common risk assessment methodology for the Danube Macro-region and a Guideline for climate change adaptation and risk assessment in the Danube Macro-region were elaborated (http://www.seeriskproject.eu/seerisk/). Into the DRIDANUBE project, ANM created a network of communicators (beneficiaries) by using questionnaires responses, contributed to estimating the impact of the drought phenomenon both in Romania and in the agricultural areas of the partner countries in the Danube region. This transnational cooperation led to improve the response to drought emergencies (strategy) and better cooperation between operational services and decision-making authorities in the Danube region at national and regional level (http://www.interreg-danube.eu/approved-projects/dridanube). Into SUSCAP project, farmers, crop breeders and policymakers worked together to identify region-specific adaptations to improve future crop resource use efficiency and productivity (suscap.meteoromania.ro).

However, the National Strategy for DRR and the subsequent sectoral- and local-level strategies/plans will provide an opportunity to include all the relevant DRR and CCA in a single strategic document, thus ensuring a better overview of the challenges and synergies to address both issues through integrated measures. The line ministries, different authorities, alongside and in some cases in collaboration with certain private actors are developing plans, programmes and projects that are being applied at local, regional or national levels. One important example of collaboration is represented by the The National Commission on Climate Change or the different working groups regarding both the elaboration and preparation of plans, strategies and programmes. Under the RO07 Adaptation to Climate Change Program through the EEA Grants 2009-2014, the Local Environment Protection Agencies from three Romanian counties (Mureș, Brașov and Sibiu) have developed a set of guidelines on climate change adaptation, which further underpinned their local adaptation plans. Constant collaboration is taking place between the local environment agencies on issues relevant for adaptation, whereby they share information and knowledge in respect to measures and actions taken in their area of responsibility, and their monitoring or measurement. A consultation is also underway between the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations and the National Meteorological Administration, with a view to develop hazard and risk maps and subsequently action plans at regional level to address the nexus of adaptation and disaster risk reduction actions, with focus on recent but impactful climate hazards like urban heat stress Tulcea City Hall and the National Environmental Protection Research and Development Institute from Bucharest launched, on Friday, the "Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Plan in Tulcea" project, which will be completed by the end of the year. The project financed by the Ministry of Environment, Water and Forests, through the "Environment, adaptation to climate change and ecosystems" program, set out to establish measures to improve the capacity to mitigate and adapt to climate change. The deadline is November 2023 . The climate change mitigation and adaptation plan in the municipality of Tulcea" has a total budget of 584,832 lei, of which 85% represents the non-reimbursable European funding, and 15% the funding granted from the national budget. Strategies and Action Plans for mitigating and adapting to climate change for Sibiu and Mediaș for the next eight years have been adopted. The "Climate change - Action plan for mitigation and the necessary measures for adaptation in Sibiu county" project carried out by the Sibiu County Council, in partnership with the Babeș Bolyai University in Cluj, has ended, with all the proposed objectives being achieved. It was financed through the EEA Financial Mechanism 2014-2021, run by the Ministry of Environment, Water and Forests through the RO-Environment Program "Environment, Adaptation to Climate Change and Ecosystems". The value of the project was over 600,000 lei, within the timeframe December 16, 2021 – December 15, 2022. The main objective was to create two action plans to mitigate climate change and, at the same time, to identify the necessary measures to adapt to these changes at the level of the municipalities of Sibiu and Mediaș, but also to raise awareness of their effect at the level of the authorities, the inhabitants and of all the factors involved in Sibiu County. The Strategy and Plan for mitigating and adapting to climate change of the Municipality of Mediaș has reached the stage of public consultation. This important strategic document of the Municipality of Mediaș was developed within the project "Climate change - Action plan for mitigation and the necessary measures for adaptation in Sibiu County (SC-PAAMA-CJS-2021)", implemented by the Sibiu County Council, in partnership with Babeș – Bolyai University, Cluj – Napoca, and is financed by the Ministry of Environment, Water and Forests, as Program Operator for the RO-Environment Program, financed by the EEA Financial Mechanism 2014-2021. The Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Strategy and Plan includes a concrete analysis of the impact of climate change on sectoral areas, such as: agriculture, biodiversity, forestry, infrastructure, construction and urban planning, transport, energy, industry, management waste, health, education, as well as tourism and recreational activities. The purpose of this strategy for the Municipality of Mediaș is to contribute to increasing the climate resilience of natural and human systems and to orient social and economic activities towards climate neutrality. To achieve this goal, the general objectives of the strategy proposed for the Municipality of Mediaș are: Promotion of operational measures aimed at ensuring climate neutrality at the level of the municipality of Mediaș for the 2050 horizon;Promotion of operational measures aimed at increasing the capacity to adapt to climate change of the municipality of Mediaș;Ensuring the fund of data necessary to manage the relevant aspects for mitigating and adapting to climate change in the municipality of Mediaș;Public awareness, increasing responsibility and support for measures to mitigate and adapt to climate change in the municipality of Mediaș;Strengthening administrative and management capacity for climate change mitigation and adaptation;Effective cooperation between all categories of factors involved (administration, business environment, civil society) to improve the effectiveness of measures to mitigate and adapt to climate change. At the same time, the Strategy also proposes a series of concrete actions to achieve the strategic objectives. For the sustainability of the project, the research team from the Babeș Bolyai University Cluj Napoca - Faculty of Geography has produced a Guide to good practices and awareness regarding mitigation and adaptation to climate change in Sibiu County. It contains information related to the impact of climate change on priority areas in Sibiu County, best practices for mitigating and adapting to climate change relevant to Sibiu County, as well as recommendations for local authorities in developing the strategy and action plan for mitigating and adapting to climate change. According to several environmental NGOs, public awareness on environmental matters is estimated to be at a good level, especially regarding forests and illegal logging and, to a lesser degree, biodiversity conservation, climate change and sustainable energy. However, behavioural patterns towards sustainable choices were still lagging behind awareness, the improvement of which requires enhanced implementation of EE and ESD. NGOs are active in environment and sustainable development areas at the national and local levels contribute extensively to promoting non-formal and informal EE and ESD. In the SUSCAP project (suscap.meteoromania.ro), in order to know the opinion of the farmers on the effect of climate change perceived in their current activity, adaptation to climate change, and also the need for specific climate products and services useful in carrying out their work, one questionnaire based on open questions were addressed to farmers cultivating wheat for consumption and for seeds. Twenty-one farmers for consumption and for seeds answered the questionnaire during interviewing period (March to June 2022). The questionnaire addressed mainly the knowledge on adaptation measures to climate change and ozone air pollution in agriculture used in current agricultural practice, respectively measures to reduce the impacts on wheat crops. According to SDS 2030, decision-making on sustainable development is going to be assisted by the Consultative Council for Sustainable Development established by GD No. 114/2020. SDS 2030 also proposes to establish a Coalition for Sustainable Development involving large groups (e.g. of young people, NGOs, private sector organizations, local authorities, trade unions, employers’ associations, research, development and innovation institutions, the academic community, the mass media, religious organizations, farmers, senior citizens and families), based on sustained, permanent dialogue. With all the established bodies and structure planned through the SDS 2030, Romania covered involvement of all key stakeholders in future-decision making on sustainable development. The Ministry of Environment, Waters and Forests, Programme Operator for the RO-Environment Programme financed under the EEA Financial Mechanism 2014-2021, launches the call for the small grant scheme (SGS-1) "Development of climate change mitigation and adaptation plans in municipalities" The total amount allocated from the budget of the RO-Environment Programme for the small grants scheme "Development of climate change mitigation and adaptation plans in municipalities" is EUR 1.000.000, representing: EUR 850.000 (85%) - the contribution of the EEA Financial Mechanism 2014-2021, i.e. grant; EUR 150.000 (15%) – national contribution. Through the small grants scheme for "Development of climate change mitigation and adaptation plans in municipalities", the RO-Environment Programme aims to increase the capacity of local authorities to mitigate and adapt to climate change. The RO-Environment Programme will also strengthen the capacity of public entities responsible for the im
