The Republic of Moldova, one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change
The Republic of Moldova is one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change, despite the fact that it has a minor contribution to the level of global greenhouse gas emissions, the Ministry of Energy informs. Annual losses caused by climate change amount to 2.13% of the GDP. In the last 130 years, the average annual temperature in the Republic of Moldova has increased by over 1.2°C. As a result, droughts, massive floods, heat waves, torrential rains and other extreme weather conditions have become more frequent.
