Global climate change stands behind the risk of more frequent and intense natural disasters, which take human lives and cause significant economic damage. Importance of civil defense (CD) have increased due to development of geopolitical situation and risk of terrorist attacks. States have increased their efforts to prepare and implement measures for disaster risk reduction (DRR) and for climate change adaptation (CCA), which are in many ways interconnected. In the Czech republic the topic of civil protection returns to primary and secondary schools and by the government command should be taught at faculties of education.
