Climate change signs in Rakhiv district (1991-2010)
Increase of average annual t0 by 0.7 0С relative to the climatic norm
Most significant increase of air t0 in January (1.50С) , August (1.60С) and July (1.50С)
Average yearly maximum t0 increased by 0.8 0С and the minimum – 0.5 0С
The largest growth of the maximal and minimal temperature observed in the summer – 2.00С and 1.00С, respectively
Essential increase in precipitation, autumn - by 20.9%, spring - by 16.8%. The largest increase in precipitation - in March (56%), September (37%) and October (38%)
Summer precipitation decrease by 14% in the warm season (May-September) and decrease in precipitation - increase of aridity
![Page 16: LOC- CLIM-ACT: Local acting on climate change impacts Loyko... · Climate change signs in Rakhiv district (1991-2010) Increase of average annual t0 by 0.7 0Сrelative to the climatic](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050409/5f85c0937ba8f07e7860c3a5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The expected climate change by 2050 and its consequences in Rakhiv district
For the balanced scenario - A1B in 2021-2050 increase in air temperature is expected throughout the year.
The average annual maximum and minimum temperatures will increase by 1.1-1.2 ° C.
Increase of the number of hot days over 20 and 25 ° C is expected respectively for 9 and 3 days.
Reduction of rains in the warm season at the background of increasing temperature will lead to lack of moisture and increased aridity in the region.
Growth of maximum precipitation intensity will cause an increase of extreme weather conditions, especially heavy rains and snowfalls.

Vulnerability of Rakhiv districtto negative climate impacts
Key:
Reduced precipitation in the warm season at the background of increasing temperatures will lead to lack of moisture and increased aridity.
Increase of extreme precipitations will result in increase of floodings
Increase in the number of extreme meteo- events and, along with other expected climate change impacts, its pressure on forestry, as key economic and environmental sector of the region.
* Forest as an important factor in resisting capacity for climate change.

Threats
Floods: Rakhiv area - most hydrated in the region
•The area is characterized by frequent floods of cloudburst origin, annually leading to formation of 8-10 floodings
•Floods increase erosion, formation of mudflows, avalanches and landslides, karsts
•21 settlement of 32 suffered from catastrophic floods in 1998
Landslides:
•Active landslides of total 7112 hectares (8% of the area), 179 hectares of potentially dangerous landslides are in settlements
Forest:
•Loss of forest productivity along with decreasing of other forest function
•Intensive spruce die back

Elaboration of flood protection measures and hydro-technical infrastructure
Preventive measures for the prevention and mitigation of floods (keeping clean ways under bridges, water drainage, cleaning ditches, etc.)
Public awareness of the possible consequences of flooding and possible measures to reduce flood.
Control over the gravel extraction (awareness, creating local control)
Water retention constructions on intermittent streams
Revitalization of forest skidding trails
Storage tanks/ ponds in the upper parts of rivers and streams

Increase of water content during drought and drinking water. Measures
2.1. Waterification (keeping water) measures at the slopes via small accumulative constructions (water source, water retention, moisture maintenance, water reservoirs for firefighting, increasing biodiversity, including rare species) and hydro-technical constructions for the accumulation of water (an alternative source of industrial water, recreation, fish ponds ...)
2.2. Water retention constructions on regular and temporary waterflows
2.4. Regeneration of water sources (clearing, cleaning)
2.5. Public awareness of the benefits and opportunities of rainwater accumulation (for watering, pets, toilet) near households, social institutions, mountain farms
2.6. Create drinking water reservoirs
2.7. Create intakes / water pipes
2.8. Educating the population - awareness raising measures
