Discourse on Future in Politics, Media, and Ecological Activism
Simon, Michal ; Zmrzlá, Petra (referee) ; Kotásek, Miroslav (advisor)
Tato práce se zaměřuje na diskurz o budoucnosti týkající se extrémních výkyvů počasí a klimatických změn. Pomocí diskurzivní analýzy zkoumá, jakým způsobem je budoucnost predikována v politickém a mediálním diskurzu a také v příspěvcích klimatických aktivistů na sociálních sítích. Analyzovaný politický diskurz obsahuje části projevu prezidenta Bidena a slyšení výboru Senátu Spojených států amerických. Mediální diskurz je ilustrován analýzami dvou článků ze zpravodajských médií a YouTube videa z kanálu magazínu The Economist. Zatímco analýza politického diskurzu v této práci zdůrazňuje rétorické prvky, modalitu a persvazi, analýza mediálního diskurzu se zaměřuje i na senzacionalismus v nadpisech článků a obrázcích. Prostředky, jako jsou například rétorika, modalita a senzacionalismus, přispívají k ovlivňování a případné manipulaci publika. Cílem této práce je posoudit, jak politici, média a klimatičtí aktivisté ovlivňují vnímání budoucnosti a jakou roli mohou mít při vyvolávání klimatické úzkosti.

Study of runoff conditions in selected sub-basins of the Oskava River
Gogela, Martin ; Pavlík, František (referee) ; Dumbrovský, Miroslav (advisor)
The subject of this bachelor thesis was to prepare data in the arcmap program, then to prepare an analysis of the area of interest. Based on this analysis, to find the critical profiles and determine the flood wave characteristics for their catchment area. These characteristics are processed using the DesQ program. Based on the climate change, the flood wave characteristics for the critical points' catchments were calculated for a design rainfall that simulates the projected condition in 2050. Furthermore, a design of measures for the area of interest was carried out. This design was compared using the flood wave characteristics and its effectiveness for the current and future condition was evaluated.

Climate Change Assessment: Temperature Trends in the Vír I Reservoir’s Catchment
Bednář, Martin
Climate change poses a profound challenge, impacting ecosystems, human populations and water resources. Adapting water resources to the evolving hydro-climatological conditions within river basins is paramount. This study assesses the climate change effects in the catchment above the Vír I reservoir, located on the Svratka River in the Czech Republic, Central Europe. To account for the uncertainty of climate change, an ensemble approach was employed. Using insights from 13 global climate models (CMIP6, SSP2-4.5 scenario), temperature variations were analysed. The analysis aims to provide insights into temperature variations within this catchment area, shedding light on the complexities of climate change impacts and their implications for water resource management.

The EU Emissions Trading System and its contribution to climate protection
Kaiserová, Veronika ; Žákovská, Karolina (advisor) ; Sobotka, Michal (referee)
This thesis deals with the European Union Emissions Trading System. The EU ETS, abbreviated from EU Emissions Trading System, serves as a tool for reducing the amount of greenhouse gases in the air, operating on the polluter pays principle and economically motivating the actors concerned to act more environmentally friendly. It is one of the most important instruments for combating climate change and plays a key role in the European Union's efforts to achieve its climate policy and sustainability objectives. The first part of the thesis deals with the legal sources that regulate this issue. First, it briefly introduces the most important international conventions that laid the basis for further cooperation between states in environmental protection. The EU regulations are then elaborated in more detail, mainly in the form of directives and regulations, which constitute the legal basis of the EU ETS itself and further modify it. Finally, the thesis briefly discusses the legal acts in Czech Republic. The next part of the thesis deals with the EU ETS as such. First, the development of the system, which has undergone numerous changes in its almost twenty years of operation, is outlined in individual subchapters. The thesis then looks at the allocation of individual emission allowances, the areas of...

Pathways to a just landscape transformation
Nohlová, Barbora ; Sagapová, Nikola ; Harmáčková, Veronika Zuzana
The Just Scapes project was officially launched in 2020 and is a consortium of three countries (UK, France and Czech Republic) researching three types of landscape: the Scottish Highlands, the French rural landscape of the south-eastern Pyrenees and the Czech cultural landscape of southern and eastern Moravia. The project focuses primarily on the mechanisms and processes of equitable transformation and answers the following questions, crucial for the future: How are the impacts of climate change distributed? How are impacts and effects distributed?\nof landscape management and climate change policies? The research was based on the approach of the so-called ,,just transformation laboratories,, (T-labs). This approach is specifically tailored to foster collaborative solutions to complex societal problems. The research also included extensive field visits and engagement with relevant key actors. Numerous interviews and workshops were also conducted. This text is the result of a long-term research collaboration with key actors managing the landscape in five wine and agricultural regions of South and East Moravia. The research focused on mechanisms of equitable transformation. If the current state of the landscape leads to its vulnerability to the impacts of climate change, it is necessary to ask what changes are needed to increase its resilience. And this is exactly what the project has succeeded in defining.

Sustainable production capabilities of territory, depending on climatic drought.
Skůpová, Jana ; Uhrová,, Jana (referee) ; Dumbrovský, Miroslav (advisor)
In this work, I dealt with the repercussion of drought on agriculture and land in the cadastral Jinošov. For this area, I analyzed the erosion and ratio of outflow. I also conducted a proposal of adaptation measures against erosion and water retention in the area. In conclusion, I analyzed withholding data and assessed the retention before and after the proposal of adaptation measures. The result of my work is finding that rainfall is inadequate and largely come out of the growing season, that despite all the measures fail to create on the necessary retention for the correct functioning of the landscape. Therefore it is necessary to solve water supply from other areas where is sufficient supply of water.

Analysis of erosion and runoff conditions in a selected catchment areas
Pavliš, Jaroslav ; Uhrová,, Jana (referee) ; Dumbrovský, Miroslav (advisor)
The subjekt of this Bachelor thes is was to develop ananalytic alanalysis of erosion and run off conditions in certain sub-basins. The analysis is performed in the area of interest, which consist soft he cadastral areas of Lubná u Poličky, Sebranice u Litomyšle, Kamenec u Poličky, Polička (Střítež), Lezník and Široký Důl. Erosion run off and run off conditions were analyzed on the basis of a total of 16 variants including the use off ivecomputational algorithms for factor L and S, culent state, chmate chase affecting factor R and K, and variol agrotechnical and organizational measures affecting factor ca P. For presentation of map and computational The ArcGIS program was used for the results of erosion and the Desq program was used for run off conditions, where the mutual data processing was enabled by the USLE 2D program. These results can then determine possible protective anti-erosion measures against property damage, which would be part of a comprehensive landscaping.
