  EU Member States, including Slovakia, can make further progress towards turning waste into a resource and building a circular economy by decreasing waste generation, increasing recycling and reducing landfilling. The EU has ambitious targets and new rules in place to make all Member States top performers in waste management. This will bring jobs, more sustainable growth and a cleaner environment with less marine litter.

  The Slovak Republic is one of the two (the other is Czech Republic) successor states established after the political change on 1 January 1993, based on Constitutional Act No. 542/1992 Coll. on the Dissolution of the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic. Slovakia is a unitary state, divided into eight regions. The Slovak political system is a parliamentary democracy and the legal system is continental with a statutory law system. The sole constitutional and legislative body is the National Council of the Slovak Republic (Parliament) and the supreme body of the executive power is the Government. The judicial power is executed by general courts and a special court, which is the Constitutional Court. The Constitutional Court of the Slovak Republic is an independent judicial body protecting the constitutionality. In addition to deciding on the conformity of lower legal norms with higher legal norms, the Constitutional Court also decides competence conflicts between the central bodies of state administration unless the law stipulates that another state authority shall decide in these disputes. The Constitutional Court also decides on various complaints, and interprets the Constitution or constitutional statutes in disputed issues. The Slovak Republic has a two-level general court system, which is composed of the Supreme Court, 8 regional courts and 54 district courts. District courts are competent to try proceedings in the first instance. Regional courts hear cases as appeal courts. The Supreme Court has the function of an appellate review court and, being the supreme judicial body, never acts as a first instance court. The courts decide in civil (including labour) and criminal cases, they also review the lawfulness of decisions by administrative bodies, in electoral and referendum matters, and matters related to political parties. The courts also decide on other matters stated by law, the legally binding Act of European Communities and European Union or international treaties to which the Slovak Republic is party. According to the Antidiscrimination Act3 all equal treatment proceedings are governed by the Civil Dispute Act4 and the cases are decided by the civil courts. There are no special labour courts for discrimination cases in the area of employment.

  The EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change of 2013 includes actions to enhance the resilience of infrastructure and mainstream climate adaptation into the European regional and cohesion policy. The Common Provisions Regulation (CPR) of 2013 states under article 8 that climate change mitigation and adaptation, and risk prevention shall be taken into consideration for investments made with the support of the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESI Funds). The regulation integrates climate change adaptation considerations into the preparation and approval of major projects or other projects funded by the ESI Funds through the requirement to conduct climate change vulnerability and risk assessments. In coordination with the ESI Funds, and complimentary to them, the LIFE fund in addition assists in the realisation of the climate change adaptation objectives. Climate change analyses (such as vulnerability and risk assessments) are also sporadically found to be undertaken for infrastructure projects that are financed outside the framework of EU funds. This report for Slovakia focuses on the adaptation to climate change of infrastructure projects supporting the requirement to undertake climate change vulnerability and risk assessments by presenting: - Legal, policy and institutional framework: A schematic outline of national and regional policy and legal framework, and organisational structure to deal with adaptation; - Resources: Offering the most important resources supporting the realisation of climate change vulnerability and risk assessments for infrastructure projects. The available resources for data, methodologies, tools, guidance, design standards, system framework and institutional capacity are contextualised and listed in this section; - Sector overview: Identifying the approach, main strengths and weaknesses for each of these sectors: Transport, Broadband, Urban Development, Energy, Water and Waste; and - Case studies: Current practice in adaptation and resilience of infrastructure projects.
