The paper commences with the fact that in the last thirty years, many regulatory acts have been passed world-wide seeking to regulate various climate change-related issues. Some countries have also adopted special laws on climate change (leges speciales). The first part of the paper is devoted to considering the international legal context of climate change, as a general circumstance of importance for understanding the practice of states in adopting legal regulations in this area. In the second part of the paper, the key elements of internal legal regulations in the field of climate change in the Republic of Serbia (RS) and the Republic of Croatia (RC) are pointed out and the elementary norms of the Serbian Law on Climate Change and the Croatian Law on Climate Change and Ozone Layer Protection are compared. The aim of the paper is to analyse the connections between international legal circumstances and the manner of regulating the area of climate change via leges speciales. The thesis that the circumstances related to the complex nature of international legal obligations in this area, as well as obligations from EU regulations, influenced the need to regulate these issues with special laws has been considered.

U ovom radu su analizirani utjecaji klimatskih promjena na prirodnu baštinu Australije uvrštenu na UNESCO-vu listu svjetske baštine. Na primjerima Velikog koraljnog grebana i Velikog modrog gorja prikazan je utjecaj klimatskih promjena na stanje prirodne baštine u Australiji, kao i mjere prilagodbe klimatskim promjenama radi njezinog očuvanja i zaštite. Pritisci koji prijete prirodnoj baštini Australije, a koji su posljedica klimatskih promjena, uključuju porast temperature, promjene u količini i godišnjem hodu padalina, porast razine mora, požare, češće ekstremne vremenske nepogode te acidifikaciju oceana. Veliki koraljni greben doživio je masovno izbjeljivanje prilikom toplinskih morskih valova uzrokovanih klimatskim promjenama čime su zaštićenom području ugrožena obilježja koja ga čine svjetskom baštinom. Veliko modro gorje je ugroženo zbog učestalih i snažnih požara uzorkovanih klimatskim promjenama. U radu su također analizirani nacionalni, regionalni i lokalni planovi i strategije za zaštitu prirodne baštine te okolišne posljedice na odabranim primjerima. In this paper, the impacts of climate change on Australia's natural heritage included in the UNESCO World Heritage List are analyzed. Using the examples of the Great Barrier Reef and the Greater Blue Mountains, the impact of climate change on the state of natural heritage in Australia is shown, as well as measures for climate change adaptation due to its preservation and protection. Pressures threatening Australia's natural heritage resulting from climate change include rising temperatures, changes in the amount and pattern of rainfall, sea level rise, fires, more frequent extreme weather events, and ocean acidification. The Great Barrier Reef experienced massive bleaching during marine heatwaves caused by climate change, which threatened the protected area's features that make it a world heritage site. The Greater Blue Mountains are threatened by frequent and powerful fires patterned by climate change. The paper also analyzes national, regional, and local plans and strategies for the protection of natural heritage and the environmental consequences on selected examples.

U ovome radu istražene su politike dekarbonizacije u odabranim zemljama Europske unije koje su usmjerene na redukciju emisija stakleničkih plinova u različitim sektorima, kao ključnih pokretača klimatskih promjena. Sukladno tome, objašnjeni su opći ciljevi dekarbonizacije i opisani su ključni elementi paketa „Spremni za 55%“ koji je dio Europskog zelenog plana. Također, analizirani su sektorski pristupi dekarbonizacije i njihove gospodarske implikacije te je provedena regresijska analiza povezanosti između emisija stakleničkih plinova i godišnjih razina BDP-a po stanovniku u zemljama Europske unije. Na kraju rada predložene su smjernice za unaprjeđenje specifičnih sektorskih politika dekarbonizacije u kontekstu ostvarenja strateških ciljeva Europskog zelenog plana do 2050. godine., In this paper, the decarbonization policies in selected countries of the European Union, which are aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in various sectors, as key drivers of climate change, are investigated. Accordingly, the general goals of decarbonization are explained and the key elements of the "Ready for 55%" package, which is part of the European Green Plan, are described. Also, sectoral approaches to decarbonization and their economic implications were analyzed, and a regression analysis of the connection between greenhouse gas emissions and annual levels of GDP per capita in the countries of the European Union was performed. At the end of the paper, guidelines were proposed for the improvement of specific sectoral decarbonization policies in the context of achieving the strategic goals of the European Green Plan until 2050.

The aim of this paper is to examine the importance and application of risk management strategies among Dalmatian grape and wine producers who are faced with climate change. For research purposes, a questionnaire was used on a convenient sample of Dalmatian grape growers and wine producers (N=89). Descriptive statistics, t-test for independent sample, and one-way analysis of variance were used for the data analysis. The importance of risk management strategies was assessed on a five-point Likert scale, and results show that the most important strategies are change-the-harvest-date and irrigation strategies, while cessation of agricultural production is not an option for most producers. The level of education and agricultural area under vineyards had no influence on the importance of the strategies, while gender, age groups of respondents, and type of production had an influence on the importance of several risk management strategies.

Recently an increased interest among psychologists in the topic of human rights can be observed. We aim to raise awareness about the contribution psychologists can have in protection of human rights with the goal of supporting psychological well-being of individuals as well as of communities. So in this article we review the roots of human rights-based psychology in social psychology and applied fields of psychology, examine how psychological associations tackle human rights and present some examples of intersection of psychology and human rights in practice. The role psychologists have can be pursued at the individual level, in everyday implementation of psychological knowledge and skills, and more globally. Professional bodies of psychologists can have a stronger voice in society while advocating for human rights from the psychological perspective while also supporting their members in the promotion of human rights. In recent years more initiatives can be seen among psychological associations in their recognition of their role in upholding human rights. We describe the results of a survey that explored to what extent psychological associations addressed human rights in their work. The sample comprised 31 psychological associations from 29 countries worldwide. Most of them replied that they had undertaken activities related to human rights and mentioned human rights in their Codes of Ethics. Five of them have established a human rights section/committee/group. About half of the associations stated that they had some mechanisms for reporting about human rights violations within organisation, although fewer have developed procedures that relate to human rights reporting organisations in their countries. Further, human rights education for psychologists is tackled in the paper as the crucial step in linking the theory and practice. Finally, two areas of work are discussed, in which psychologists can address human rights: trauma and the climate and environmental crisis.

O klimatskim promjenama se gotovo neprestano govori u medijima, te se sve češće ističe da EU pa tako i Hrvatska nisu dovoljno pripremljene za sve veće utjecaje klimatskih promjena, stoga je potrebna brža, pametnija i sveobuhvatnija prilagodba. Globalne emisije stakleničkih plinova i dalje su u porastu, a prosječne globalne temperature će rasti i dalje. Kako raste temperatura, tako rastu i rizici poput češćih ekstremnih vremenskih događaja kao što su suše, poplave, itd. Procjenjuje se da je Hrvatska kao zemlja koja velikim dijelom spada u Sredozemnu regiju pod velikim rizikom od posljedica klimatskih promjena. Hrvatska je već izložena negativnim posljedicama klimatskih promjena, što je uzrokovalo značajne gospodarske gubitke. Ako se ne počnu provoditi mjere prilagodbe, društvo se može suočiti s katastrofalnim posljedicama za gospodarstvo i okoliš, te se time može ugroziti održivi razvoj društva. S obzirom na to da troškovi ulaganja u prilagodbu mogu smanjiti troškove saniranja mogućih šteta u budućnosti, važno je strateški pristupiti u procesu prilagodbe klimatskim promjenama, a važno je i osigurati da mjere prilagodbe ujedno pridonesu smanjenju emisija stakleničkih plinova. Temeljni cilj istraživanja u ovom radu je ispitati jesu li se gospodarstvenici iz sektora poljoprivrede i turizma u Republici Hrvatskoj prilagodili klimatskim promjenama. Na temelju provedenog istraživanja može se zaključiti da je potreban veći broj poduzeća iz sektora poljoprivrede i turizma u Republici Hrvatskoj prilagođenih klimatskim promjenama. Kako bi se to postiglo, potrebno je raditi više na informiranju i širenju znanja kako bi se što više poduzeća prilagodio klimatskim promjenama i tako osiguralo opstanak u budućnosti., Climate change is almost constantly discussed in the media, and it is increasingly pointed out that the EU as well as Croatia are not sufficently prepared for the increasing impacts of climate change. Therefore is needed a faster, smarter and more comprehensive adaptation. Global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise as well as the average global temperatures simultaneously. As the temperature rises, also the risks such as more frequent extreme weather events are rising. It is estimated that Croatia, as a country that largely belongs to the Mediterranean region, is in the bigger risk from the negative impacts of the climate change. Croatia is already exposed to the negative consequences of a climate change, which has caused significant economic losses. If adaptation measures are not implemented, society may face catastrophic consequences for the economy and the environment, thus the sustainable development of society may also be endangered. Since the costs of investment in adaptation can reduce the costs of repairing possible damage in the future, it is important to strategically approach the proccess of adjustment to the climate change, and it is also important to ensure that adjustment measures contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The main goal of the research in this paper work is to examine whether businessmen from the agriculture and tourism industry in the Republic of Croatia have adjusted to climate change. Based on the conducted research, it can be concluded that a larger number of companies from the agriculture and tourism industry in the Republic of Croatia need yet to be adjusted to climate change. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to work more on the informing and spreading knowledge so that as many companies as possible can adjust to the climate change and thus ensure their survival in the future.

Ovaj rad bavi se tematikom antropocena i globalnog zatopljenja koji je dio naše svakodnevnice, a u hrvatskoj literaturi dosta zapostavljen. U prvom djelu rada opisan je pojam „antropocen“ kao novo doba u kojem se mi trenutno nalazimo, a što još nije dokazano. U drugom djelu obraĎuje se problem globalnog zatopljenja, njegovi uzroci i moguće posljedice za svijet i čovječanstvo. Na kraju drugog djela navode se načini smanjenja globalnog zatopljenja ljudskim aktivnostima i djelovanjem. Treći dio obraĎuje izloţbu inspiriranu antropocenom i čovjekom koji ţivi u tom dobu. Cilj rada je podići razinu sviijesti o problemu globalnog zatopljenja, ljudskom učinku na taj problem te provući poruku da svaki pojedinac moţe poduzeti neke korake kako bih pomogao u borbi protiv globalnog zatopljenja., My work deals with the topic of the Anthropocene and global warming, which is a part of our everyday life, and is neglected in Croatian literature. In the first part of the paper, the term "anthropocene" is described as a new age we are currently in, and which has not yet been proven. The second part deals with the problem of global warming, its causes and possible consequences for the world and humanity. At the end of the second part, I listed some of the ways to reduce global warming through human activities and actions. The third part deals with the exhibition inspired by the Anthropocene and the man who lives in that age. My main goal with the help of this work is to raise the level of awareness about the problem of global warming, the human effect on that problem, and convey the message that every individual can take some steps to help fight against global warming.

Klima je sustav koji se konstantno mijenja djelovanjem sunčeve i vulkanske aktivnosti te astronomskih parametara, a kroz zadnje stoljeće i povećanjem ljudskih aktivnosti. Upravo ljudska aktivnost je povećala atmosferske koncentracije stakleničkih plinova i uzrokovala porast temperature. Mjerenja pokazuju da je zatopljenje izraženije nad kopnom nego nad morem, odnosno da je jače nad Europom, Sjevernom Amerikom i Azijom, nego nad Australijom, Afrikom i južnom Amerikom. U Republici Hrvatskoj porast temperatura izraženiji je na obali nego u kontinentalnim dijelovima zemlje, ali je taj porast na priobalju izraženiji u toplom dijelu godine, dok je u kopnenim područjima taj porast izraženiji tijekom zimskog perioda. Upravo to povećanje temperatura u zimskom dijelu godine pogađa proizvođače domaće šunke i ostalih suhomesnatih proizvoda u kontinentalnom dijelu zemlje. U tradicionalnoj proizvodnji šunki proizvođači su šunke stavljali na zrenje najčešće u tavanske prostore kuća, gdje je bio zadovoljavajući protok zraka, oslanjajući se na utjecaj prirode tj. klimu toga dijela godine. Promjenom klime, došlo je do već spomenutih povišenih temperatura, koje u fazi zrenja šunki negativno utječu na kvalitetu samog proizvoda te je cilj ovoga rada ukazati kako te promjene utječu na dugogodišnju tradicijsku proizvodnju šunki i kako je za budućnost nužno uvođenje promjena u tu proizvodnju., The climate is a system that is constantly changing due to solar and volcanic activities, astronomical parameters, and also due to the increase of human activities throughout the last century. Human activity increased the atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases and caused a temperature rise. Measurements show that the warming is more pronounced over the land than over the sea, i.e. it is stronger over Europe, North America, and Asia; than over Australia, Africa, and South America. In the Republic of Croatia, the increase in temperatures is more pronounced on the coast than in the continental parts of the country, but this increase on the coast is manifested in the warm part of the year, while in the inland areas, the increase is manifested during the winter period. This increase in temperatures in the winter part of the year affects the producers of domestic ham and other dried meat products in the continental part of the country. In traditional ham production, the producers usually placed ham for ripening in the attic spaces of houses, where there was a satisfactory air flow, relying on the influence of nature, i.e., the climate of that part of the year. In traditional ham production, the producers usually placed ham for ripening in the attic spaces of houses, where there was a satisfactory air flow, relying on the influence of nature, i.e. the climate of that part of the year. Given that climate change is already present and that it directly affects the agricultural sector, this paper aimed to show how these changes affect the long-standing traditional production of ham and how it is necessary to introduce production changes in the future.

U svijetu koji se sve više bavi zelenom tranzicijom u svrhu sprječavanja klimatskih promjena, veliki fokus se stavlja na štednju energije. Znamo da se značajan postotak energije troši na hlađenje i grijanje prostorija u kojima boravimo i nužno je minimizirati nepotrebne troškove gdje je to moguće kako bismo smanjili opterećenje na infrastrukturu, a i okoliš. U ovom radu proučavamo pristupačan način uštede energije za postojeće građevine, pomoću pametnog termostata. Koristeći se strojnim učenjem i raznim senzorima pokušavamo neinvazivno predvidjeti stanje otvorenosti prozora kako bismo mogli upozoriti korisnika ukoliko je klima upaljena da zatvori prozor ili ugasi klimu. Model se naposlijetku pokazao neuspješnim ali daje puno korisnih informacija za daljnji razvitak. In a world that is increasingly concerned with the green transition to prevent climate change, great emphasis is being placed on saving energy. We know that a significant percentage of energy is spent on cooling and heating the rooms in which we reside and it is necessary to minimize unnecessary costs where possible to reduce the burden on infrastructure and the environment. In this paper, we study an affordable way to save energy for existing buildings, using a smart thermostat. Using machine learning and various sensors, we try to non-invasively predict the state of window openness so that we can warn the user if the air conditioning is on to close the window or turn off the air conditioning. The model eventually proved unsuccessful but provides a lot of useful information for further development.

Svijet se danas suočava s brojnim ekološkim problemima kao što su onečišćenje zraka, gubitak bioraznolikosti, klimatske promjene i slično. Proces globalizacije dodatno pogoršava te probleme. Države i poduzeća postaju sve više svjesni tih izazova i potrebe da ih se riješi. Jedan od načina ublažavanja klimatskih promjena i prelaska na niskougljično gospodarstvo uz posredovanje financijskih tržišta je izdavanje zelenih obveznica. Riječ je o dužničkim vrijednosni papiri koji se izdaju s ciljem financiranja ekološki održivih projekata. Ovaj diplomski rad daje sustavni pregled osnovnih karakteristika zelenih obveznica i analizira tržište zelenih obveznica u Europskoj uniji. Cilj rada je usporediti zelene i klasične obveznica te utvrditi potencijale za izdavanje zelenih obveznica u Republici Hrvatskoj., The world is facing many environmental problems such as air pollution, biodiversity loss, climate change and so on. The process of globalization has an additional negative impact on these issues. Countries and companies are becoming more and more aware of these challenges and the need to solve them. One way to mitigate climate change and move to a low-carbon economy through financial markets is to issue green bonds. These are debt securities issued with the aim of financing environmentally sustainable projects. This thesis provides a systematic overview of the basic characteristics of green bonds and analyzes the green bond market in the European Union. The aim of this paper is to compare green and classic bonds and to determine the potential for issuing green bonds in the Republic of Croatia.

Ispravno gospodarenje otpadom jedan je od najučinkovitijih načina na koji ljudi mogu pomoći u sprečavanju klimatskih promjena. Informacije o gospodarenju otpadom dolaze iz različitih izvora i često su međusobno kontradiktorne. S ciljem osvješćivanja javnosti o ispravnom načinu gospodarenja otpadom na području Republike Hrvatske razvijena je ozbiljna edukativna računalna igra Eko Zeko. Igra je razvijena po načelima univerzalnog dizajna te je implementirana u razvojnom okruženju Unity. Testirana je te su u radu dokumentirani prijedlozi za poboljšanje. Proper waste management is one of the most effective ways people can help prevent climate change. Information on waste management comes from various sources and is often contradictory. In order to raise public awareness on the procedures regarding proper waste management in the Republic of Croatia, a serious educational computer game Eko Zeko has been developed. The game was developed following the principles of universal design and has been implemented using the Unity game engine. It was tested and suggestions for improvement are documented in the paper.

The aim of this paper is to examine the importance and application of risk management strategies among Dalmatian grape and wine producers who are faced with climate change. For research purposes, a questionnaire was used on a convenient sample of Dalmatian grape growers and wine producers (N=89). Descriptive statistics, t-test for independent sample, and one-way analysis of variance were used for the data analysis. The importance of risk management strategies was assessed on a five-point Likert scale, and results show that the most important strategies are change-the-harvestdate and irrigation strategies, while cessation of agricultural production is not an option for most producers. The level of education and agricultural area under vineyards had no influence on the importance of the strategies, while gender, age groups of respondents, and type of production had an influence on the importance of several risk management strategies., Cilj rada je ispitati važnost i primjenu strategija za upravljanje rizikom u okruženju klimatskih promjena među vinogradarima i vinarima (VV) s područja Dalmacije. Za potrebe istraživanja korišten je anketni upitnik na prigodnom uzorku vinogradara i vinara Dalmacije (N=89). U analizi podataka korištena je deskriptivna statistika, t-test nezavisnih uzoraka i jednosmjerna analiza varijance. Važnost strategija za upravljanje rizikom ocjenjeno je pomoću Likertove skale od pet stupnjeva, a rezultati pokazuju kako su najvažnije strategije promjena vremena berbe i strategija navodnjavanje, dok napuštanje poljoprivredne proizvodnje za većinu poljoprivrednih proizvođača nije opcija. Razina edukacije i poljoprivredne površine pod vinogradima nisu imale utjecaj na ocjenu važnosti strategija, dok su spol, starosne grupe ispitanika i tip proizvodnje imale utjecaj na važnost nekoliko strategija o upravljanju rizikom.

U skladu s ciljem smanjenja emisija stakleničkih plinova od 55% do 2030. godine u odnosu na vrijednosti iz 1990. te postizanja klimatske neutralnosti do 2050. godine, budući energetski sustavi oslanjat će se na obnovljive izvore energije. U takvim sustavima neophodne će biti tehnologije fleksibilnosti sustava kako bi se osigurala zadovoljavajuća potrošnja i sigurna opskrba u uvjetima promjenjive proizvodnje i trenucima kada ona nije dostupna. Sukladno navedenom, zadatak energetskog planiranja iziskuje posebnu pozornost usmjerenu na modeliranje sustava koji će zadovoljiti ciljeve energetske tranzicije i osigurati stabilan rad, a sve postizanjem što nižih troškova sustava. Stoga se u ovom radu koristi računalni model za dugoročno energetsko planiranje, H2RES, razvijen na Fakultetu strojarstva i brodogradnje Sveučilišta u Zagrebu unutar INTERENERGY projekta. Program ima mogućnost modeliranja fleksibilnih tehnologija i promjene dostupnosti resursa tijekom godina, što predstavlja bitan element u razvoju sustava u skladu s promjenom klimatskih uvjeta u budućnosti. Proučit će se različiti scenariji promjene klimatskih parametra za Republiku Hrvatsku, koji posljedično utječu na proizvodnju iz obnovljivih izvora energije te usporediti ponašanje sustava u scenarijima različite dostupnosti uz poštivanje ciljeva energetske nezavisnosti o fosilnim gorivima te željene klimatske neutralnosti Europe do 2050. godine. Simulacije se provode za svaku godinu u promatranom razdoblju, što je odmak od uobičajenih alata otvorenog koda i time se mogućnostima približava komercijalno dostupnim alatima. In accordance with the goal of reducing greenhouse gasses emissions by 55% until 2030 compared to 1990 values and achieving climate neutrality by 2050, future energy systems will rely on renewable energy sources. In such systems, demand-side flexibility technologies will be necessary to ensure required consumption and safe supply in conditions of variable production and times when it is not available. Accordingly, the task of energy planning requires special attention focused on modeling the system that will meet the goals of the energy transition and ensure stable operation, all while achieving the lowest possible system costs. Therefore, this paper uses a computer software for long-term energy planning, H2RES, developed at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, University of Zagreb within the INTERENERGY project. The program has the ability to model flexible technologies and changes in the availability of renewable resources over the years, which is an essential element in the development of the system in accordance with changing climate conditions in the future. Different scenarios of climate parameter changes for Republic of Croatia, which consequently affect the production from renewable energy sources, will be studied and the behavior of the system will be compared in scenarios of different availability while respecting the goals of energy independence from fossil fuels and the desired climate neutrality of Europe by 2050. Simulations are carried out for each year in the observed period, which is a departure from the usual open source tools and therefore it approaches the capabilities of commercially available tools.

U radu se prikazuje pregled dosadašnjih saznanja o Akutnom odumiranju hrastova (AOH), u svijetu opisanom kao AOD (Acute oak decline). Ova polimikrobna bolest je nedavno otkrivena u Hrvatskoj (2021. godine) na poluotoku Pelegrin (otok Hvar), gdje se na stablima hrasta crnike zadnjih nekoliko godina javljaju tipični simptomi: sušenje vrhova krošnje koje prate uzdužne raspukline kore, gdje istodobno ispod kore dolazi do odumiranja tkiva u obliku crnih nekroza. U kasnijoj fazi javljaju se i tekline te se vide izlazne rupe kukaca, a stablo nakon 3-4 godine odumire. Bolest se širi sa stabla na stablo, a krajnja posljedica je masovno sušenje. Uzročnici odumiranja tkiva pod korom su patogene bakterije Brenneria godwinii, Gibbsiella quercinecans i Lonsdalea britannica, a njihovi mogući prijenosnici su krasnici Agrilus sulcicolis i A. olivicolor. AOH je do sada opisana u Ujedinjenom kraljevstvu, Latviji, Španjolskoj, Iranu i Švicarskoj. Važnost prvog nalaza AOH u Hrvatskoj je što hrast crnika kao autohtona vrsta ima posebno značenjej za Mediteranske šume, a k tome su po prvi puta nađene i vrste krasnika koje do sada nisu potvrđene kao vektori AOH. Posebno se naglašava rizik prijelaza AOH na kontinentalne šume hrasta lužnjaka i kitnjaka, jer za razliku od svih dosadašnjih nalaza AOH u svijetu, lužnjakove i kitnjakove šume u Hrvatskoj su jedine koje su već godinama izložene napadima hrastove mrežaste stjenice (Corythucha arcuata). Moguća kombinacija hrastove mrežaste stjenice i AOH mogla bi biti iznimno opasna. Stoga se naglašava promptna primjena mjera zaštite, posebice preventivnih te važnost znanstvenih istraživanja., The paper presents an overview of current knowledge on Acute Oak Decline (AOD), a polymicrobial disease that was recently discovered in Croatia (in 2021) on the Pelegrin peninsula (island of Hvar). In the last few years typical symptoms have appeared on holm oak trees: dieback of the top of the tree crown, followed by appearance of longitudinal cracks in the bark and black tissue necrosis in the form of black necrosis under the bark. At a later stage, swollen lesions with exit holes of insects on tree stems appear, and after 3-4 years tree dies. The disease spreads from tree to tree, resulting in mass dieback. The causes of tissue necrosis under the bark are pathogenic bacteria Brenneria godwinii, Gibbsiella quercinecans and Lonsdalea britannica, and their possible vectors are jewel beetles Agrilus sulcicolis and A. olivicolor. AOD has so far been described in the United Kingdom, Latvia, Spain, Iran and Switzerland. The specificity of the first AOD finding in Croatia is that holm oak as a native species has a special significance for the Mediterranean forests, and for the first time other species of jewel beetles that have not been found as AOD vectors have been detected. The risk of AOD transition to continental pedunculate oak and sessile oak forests is particularly concerning, because unlike all previous AOD findings in the world, pedunculate and sessile oak forests in Croatia are the only ones that have been exposed to constant attacks of oak lace bug (Corythucha arcuata) for years. The possible synergism of oak lace bug with AOD could be extremely dangerous. Therefore, the prompt application of protection measures, especially preventive ones, together with the importance of scientific research is emphasized.

Rad proučava odnose klimatskih promjena i emigracije iz ruralnih područja Srednje Amerike. Srednja Amerika jedna je od prvih regija svijeta u kojoj je uočen dugo najavljivani fenomen klimatskih migracija. Migracije su analizirane u sklopu koncepata ranjivosti i prilagodbe, pri čemu se emigracija smatra, s jedne strane, ishodom visoke izloženosti stanovništva klimatskim promjenama uvjetovane fizičkim procesima te, s druge strane, neuspješne prilagodbe, koja je posljedica kroničnog siromaštva, društvene nejednakosti i neučinkovitih institucija. The paper studies the links between climate change and emigration from rural areas of Central America. Central America is one of the first regions of the world where the long-anticipated phenomenon of climate change-induced migration has been observed. Migration is analysed using the theoretical framework of vulnerability and adaptation. Vulnerability is a result of high exposure to climate change on the one hand, caused by physical processes, and unsuccessful adaptation on the other, a result of chronic poverty, social inequality, and ineffective institutions.

Klimatska promjena podrazumijeva statistički značajnu promjenu srednjeg stanja ili promjenjivost klimatskih elemenata. Može biti uzrokovana prirodnim ili antropogenim čimbenicima. Globalno zatopljenje često se navodi kao primjer klimatskih promjena. Odnosi se na se na trenutni porast prosječne temperature oceana i zraka. Svjetska meteorološka organizacija (WMO) i Program Ujedinjenih naroda za okoliš (UNEP) osnovali su Međuvladin panel za klimatske promjene (IPCC) koji procjenjuje rizik od klimatskih promjena uzrokovanih ljudskim aktivnostima. Prema izvješću IPCCa iz 2007. godine, prosječne Zemljine površinske temperature porasle su za oko 0,74 °C (1,33 °F) tijekom posljednjih 100 godina. Za projiciranje promjena klime potrebno je odrediti buduće emisije plinova staklenika u atmosferu. U posljednjem desetljeću 21. stoljeća predviđa se porast od 1,8 °C do 4 °C s obzirom na zadnjih 20 godina 20. stoljeća. Svrha ovog rada je pokazati povezanost između globalne i srednje dnevne temperature u Varaždinu. Climate change implies a statistically significant change in the mean state or variability of climatic elements. It can be caused by natural or anthropogenic factors. Global warming is often cited as an example of climate change. It refers to the current rise in average ocean and air temperatures. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) have established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which assesses the risk of climate change caused by human activities. According to an IPCC report in 2007, average Earth surface temperatures have risen by about 0.74 °C (1.33 °F) over the last 100 years. To project climate change, it is necessary to determine future greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. In the last decade of the 21st century, it is estimated that the temperatures will rise by 1.8 °C to 4 °C in comparison to the last 20 years of the 20th century. The purpose of this paper is to show the connection between global and mean daily temperatures in Varaždin.

Klimatski uvjeti na prostoru MENA regije utječu na egzistencijalnu, društvenu, ekonomsku i političku svakodnevicu. Uz postupno pogoršavanje situacije uslijed klimatskih promjena, postavlja se pitanje sigurnosti i opstanka stanovništva tog područja, a time i konkretnih političkih odgovora na trenutno stanje. Resursi vode i hrane postaju oskudniji, dok velike temperature i suše stavljaju ogroman pritisak na pojedine državne sektore. Sekuritiziranje određenog problema čini ga političkim prioritetom. S obzirom da ekološki problemi predstavljaju veliku prijetnju za sigurnost nacionalnih država, fokus se stavlja na proces sekuritizacije klimatskih promjena. U njemu nam pomaže teorija sekuritizacije unutar koje pobliže gledamo retoričku komponentu i način adresiranja spomenutih prijetnji. Iako su klimatske promjene svjetski problem, rad je usredotočen na MENA regiju koja je vidljivo ranjiva i ugrožena. Zbog njihovih sličnih uvjeta, problema, ali i različitih oblika vladavine, države na koje se posebno osvrćemo su Egipat i Jordan. Shodno tome, glavno istraživačko pitanje je: mogu li različiti tipovi vladavine Egipta i Jordana utjecati na retoriku sekuritizacije klimatskih promjena? Nepotpunu sekuritizaciju klimatskih promjena u oba slučaja otkrila nam je analiza i pregled nacionalnih dokumenata, ali i analiza diskursa javnih istupa pojedinih dionika ovog procesa., Climatic factors in the MENA region affect the existential, societal, economic and political everyday life. With the gradual deterioration of the situation due to climate change, the question of security and survival of the population in this area arises, and thus of concrete political responses to the current situation. Water and food resources are becoming more scarce, while high temperatures and droughts put enormous pressure on governmental sectors. Securitizing a specific problem makes it a political priority. Given that environmental problems impose a major threat to the security of nation-states, the focus is on the process of securitizing climate change. The securitization theory helps us, within which we take a closer look at the rhetorical component and the way of addressing the mentioned threats. Even though, climate change is a global problem, this paper examines the MENA region which is visibly vulnerable and threatened. Because of their similar conditions, problems, but also different forms of government, the countries we will pay special attention to are Egypt and Jordan. Accordingly, the main research question is: can different forms of government in Egypt and Jordan affect the rhetoric of climate change securitization? We reveal incomplete securitization of climate change in both cases by analyzing and reviewing national documents, but also by discourse analysis of public appearances of individual stakeholders in the process.
