The aim of the "Low-Carbon Development Strategy of the Slovak Republic until 2030 with a View to 2050" (hereinafter referred to as the Strategy) is to outline options for a comprehensive long-term (30-year) strategic roadmap for moving to a low-carbon economy, which will be completed by achieving climate neutrality by 2050. The Strategy identifies key policies and measures that will lead to achieving the headline target of the Paris Agreement keeping the increase in global temperature this century to well below 2C and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels. According to the targets of the Paris Agreement, the EU and Slovakia have committed themselves to climate neutrality by 2050, which means that only as much greenhouse gas emissions as we can remove can be emitted. The European Commission is further ahead in this process, as they already presented its detailed roadmap as early as on 11 December 2019 on key policies and measures with the objective of climate neutrality, entitled the European Green Deal. In Slovakia, such a low-carbon transformation will on the one hand bring new additional costs, which were partially quantified in Chapter 4 (Impact Assessment) at 1.8-4.2% of the GDP per year. On the other hand, such a transformation will bring about environmental, economic and health benefits and development of a sustainable low-carbon economy. These costs must also be seen as investments for the future because climate change presents an enormous destructive potential that can jeopardize the functioning of the state and society with the standards we are used to today. For example, according to EEA estimates, between 1980 and 2017 Slovakia reached economic losses from the extremes of climate change in the amount of almost EUR 1.7 billion. If no additional measures are taken and the global temperature rises by 3.5C (everything is moving towards this now), then in the future the losses in the EU in the social security of the country would account for 1.8% of GDP and total loses for the EU would represent EUR 190 billion.
