Establishing and developing a climate change strategy for Montenegro

The part of the project done by MBFSZ NAKFO, commissioned by NATURAQUA Ltd. laid down the foundation for a geo-information system similar to NAGiS to be developed in Montenegro. The recommended system may be suitable for analyzing territorial differences of vulnerability in the South-European country.

The project was implemented between November 2017 and the end of May 2018. Its most important elements were:

• Identification of databases and methods
• Assessment of Hungarian and international best practices of analysing the effects of climate change by geo-information systems
• Assessment of best practices of web-based climate change decision support systems

• Identification of necessary expertise for setting up an analysing and evaluating system for climate policy
• Identification of relevant information available in Montenegrin and international databases (information necessary for emission and adaptation analyses)
• Identification of necessary expertise (geo-information, IT system planning, climate modelling, spatial planning and analysis, natural resource management, geoscience competences)
• Consultation on available capacities (meetings of Montenegrin and Hungarian experts)

• Recommendation package on the methods to use
• Identifying, defining themes (data layer groups), sectors to be investigated, assessment of the present situation (tourism, health risks of heat waves, vulnerability of drinking water resources, natural environment)
• Recommendation on methodological tools to be used for the adaptation spatial analyses
• Assessment of the elaboration process of the decision support module for policy planning
