  2. What do we know about the changing climate? What would climate change affect in Croatia? What can Croatia do to change the climate? Climate for Change: Questions for the Report

  3. What do we know about the changing climate? Climate Predictions - In general, Croatia is predicted to get warmer and drier – especially during the summer. - Surface snow in northern Croatia will become uncertain. - Soilmoisture in the spring is expected to drop. Expected temperature change for 2040-2070 in the summer

  4. What would climate change affect in Croatia? Sectors Examined:- Tourism- Coastal resources – especially related to sea level rise- Health- Fresh-water resources- Agriculture- Fisheries/ mariculture

  5. What would climate change affect in Croatia?

  6. What would climate change affect in Croatia?

  7. Coastal areas will likely be in danger of flooding from sea level riseperhaps over 100 square kilometres of land.

  8. What would climate change affect in Croatia?

  9. What can Croatia do to change the climate? Emissions Reduction and Mitigation Costs

  10. What can Croatia do to change the climate? Mitigation and Institutional Analysis • The Government has sent a clear message that energy efficiency,renewable energy and reduced emissions are important. • A fair amount of technologicalcapacity exists for mitigation. • Opportunities for financing emissions reductions exist and are increasing. This is likely tocontinue to grow as Croatia moves towards EU accession.

  11. A Climate for Change - Recommendations • To address current climate variability – regardlessof future climate change- data isrequired to improve the management of specificsectors – e.g. agriculture, disaster response to heat waves/ droughts. It already impacts 1/4th of Croatian economy. • Physical impact studies coupled with economic analysis could provide the basis for developing adaptation measures. • Additional analysis related to mitigation is necessary and more stakeholders beyond the energy and industrial sector should be engaged in efforts to mitigate emissions. • Integrate climate change into longer term strategic plans for infrastructure, urban planning (on the coast and inland), agriculture, water use, etc.
