A new phenomenon influencing the condition of man-made landscapes is climate change. Extreme fluctuations of temperature and precipitation have been causing repeated floods and also periods of drought in Europe. Landscapes damaged by inappropriate management are unable to offset these impacts. For the Czech Republic, we propose to develop a long-term landscape vision and to formulate a responsible landscape policy with regional strategic goals, including subsidies and penalties (carrots and sticks), based on the principles of the European Landscape Convention. It is time for clear communication with the public and the training of state officials and land users in spatial and landscape planning. To fill this gap in interdisciplinary cooperation, we call for the establishment of a platform on sustainable landscape management in the Czech Republic.
