Adaptation to Climate Change in EIA in Serbia Adaptation to Climate Change in EIA in Serbia Mićun Stanić, Dept. of Environmental Impact Assessment THE APPROACH the workshop on adaptation to climate change in transboundary basins (Geneve 10-12 May 2010) was → for a 70-100 year period → possible flood and drought scenarios → from simple to very sophisticated climatology modeling my presentation was quite different → for a 20-30 year period → concerning possible drought → simple linear trend scenarios Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning THE APPROACH the presentation was well accepted everybody in the room believed in climate change the complete opposite attitude I am used to the experts that make the EIAs are all believers in no change whatsoever Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning THE FLAT they are engineers trained to this you do by procedure 1...2.....3.. so if you approach them with possible change of elements of design due to possible climate change in the future they will question your sound judgment try to ignore this completely Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning THE FLAT this can be quite expected due to required EXTRA effort this cannot be copy-pasted even the add-trendline seems to be complicated when you finally ask if it could influence the project “It will have no influence whatsoever” an engineer doesn’t work in the future it is the FLAT approach Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning FLAT 12,0 11,5 11,0 10,5 10,0 9,5 9,0 8,5 8,0 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 CHANGE 12,0 11,5 11,0 10,5 10,0 9,5 9,0 8,5 8,0 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning THE CHANGE the classic engineer would use T=9,7ºC the up to date engineer would use T=10,7ºC they are not the only ones thinking flat – no change my college working in the Hydrometeorological Institute she works every day with water flows → year 2002 was the severest winter since 1965 → year 2008 was a 100 year flood Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning THE CHANGE does the climate change have any arguments → year 2003 severest drought since 1950 → year 2007 severest temperature highs ever who should you believe even if you asked me Mr. Stanic would you plant a lemon tree “Are you serious” Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning LINEAR FORECAST OF ANNUAL MEAN TEMPERATURE RISE FOR 10 YEARS – DESIGN PERIOD 20 YEARS 13 y = 0,0672x -

it was not calculated so if you do not use trends of climate change → everything is perfect – you have enough water → IT WILL NOT HAPPEN What if they would have to stop the project and reconsider ++ Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning A Reservoir on the Rzav River WATER FLOWS 1947-1995 data series from m3/sec 12,0 10,0 8,0 6,0 4,0 2,0 0,0 1945 1955 1965 1975 1985 1995 2005 2015 2025 the classic engineer would use Q= 6,25 m3/sec 18% the up to date engineer would use Q= 5,30 m3/sec + the increase in evaporation due to rise in Temperature (+ the increase in demand due to rise in Temperature) + Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning B The Sava-Danube Navigation Canal Republic of Croatia notified Republic of Serbia that it has completed the design of The Danube-Sava Waterway Canal (Espoo Convention) we, the Serbian side agreed to take part in the EIA process the Assessment was forwarded to Serbia and an evaluation was made Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning B The Sava-Danube Navigation Canal it is completely on Croat territory an interesting feature in the Assessment is that it showed that water flows have decreasing trends however further investigation was abandoned at first it seemed that an investigation may not be necessary, due to the fact that it was already agreed that there will be no abstraction of water below 235 m3/sec on the Sava river (biologic minimum) Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning B The Sava-Danube Navigation Canal later it was agreed that changes in river flows in the future may be expected, hinting it will probably be in loss of water we (Serbian side) pointed out that during extreme low flows the whole ecosystem is endangered: example of the Tisa river in 2003 when we had an emergency situation occured Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning B The Sava-Danube Navigation Canal it was agreed to further investigate the trends and if they should be persistent, that is dropping, get together and make a plan to mitigate this.

The period used is almost always from 1960-1990. 1st step: get a new period of data from the year 1980 to as close as possible to 2010 Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning Raise Awareness People are usually unaware of existing trends in temperatures and other climate data. They should draw the trend to be aware that it is happening in their own back yard. 2nd step: always get a trend of the temperaturem5 data Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning Slide 25 m5 ? mayer_s, 09/11/2010 Adapt the Project Design In every Assessment the usual statement on the mutual influence of climate-project is: There is no interaction!! 3rd step: evaluate the influence of future climate change on the project: Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning Adapt the Project Design →for the design period of the project (usually 2025-2030) →calculate the trend in question and check if there is possible influence Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning Include Extra Measures 4th step: use parts of the project in question or other sources nearby to mitigate impacts of climate change Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning.

  • Entrepreneurial Initiatives
    European Researcher, 2013, Vol.(51), № 5-4 UDC 338 The Region of the Tara Mountain – Entrepreneurial Initiatives 1 Tamara Lukić 2 Nevena Ćurčić 3 Romelić Jovan 4 Pivac Tatjana 5 Tanja Armenski 1-5 University of Novi Sad, Serbia Faculty of Science, Department of Geography, Tourism and Hotel Management Trg Dositeja Obradovića 3, Novi Sad E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The Tara Mountain is situated on the west border of Serbia. Terrain observation has provided comparative analysis of attractive mountains in Serbia. It has explained the position of the Tara Mountain in different important categories (geographic, touristic etc). Literature sources have helped in the analysis of the past entrepreneurial initiatives. Some important facts are provided by the questionnaire, in the form of the interview. The article has presented entrepreneurial initiatives on the two levels. “Time level” has divided entrepreneurial initiatives on: the time before socialist period, socialist period, then initiatives in the period from 1991 to 1999 and initiatives from the period of transition and owner transformation. “Space level” has differed entrepreneurial initiatives from the two points of view. Depending on the relief, different entrepreneurial initiatives have found “perfect place under the sun” on the different exposure of the Tara Mountain and on the different altitude levels. Short survey of genders and professions of entrepreneurs is given. Synthesis of explorations results has showed some common characteristics of all entrepreneurial initiatives. Data obtained in the Republic Statistic Bureau have used for analyze of tourist circulation in the last ten years. It has contributed illustration of the last results of new entrepreneurial initiatives.

Despot Stefan 142, 11060 Belgrade, Serbia Koncentracije elemenata U tkivima klena (SquaLus cepHALus) iz akumulacija Nacionalnog parka „Tara” Apstrakt Planinsko područje Tare nalazi se na krajnjem zapadu Srbije. Sa severne i zapadne strane ograničeno je dolinom Drine, sa jugozapada dolinom Rzava, sa juga plitkom kre- manskom udolinom koja ga odvaja od zlatiborske površi. Ceo prostor Nacionalnog parka obuhvata: planinu Taru, Crni vrh, Zvezdu, Stolac, kanjon Drine sa Perućcem i okolinu Bajine Bašte. Nacionalni park „Tara“ i njegova uža zaštitna zona raspolaže rekama i poto- cima koji pripadaju uglavnom gornjim i delimično srednjim pastrmskim regionima. Naj- značajnije reke su Rača, Derventa sa pritokama, Brusnički potok sa pritokama, Karaklijski Rzav i Baturski Rzav i reka Jarevac. U Nacionalnom parku „Tara“ formirano je nekoliko veštačkih jezera različitog tipa. Akumulacija „Perućac“ je veštačko jezero nastalo u rečnom koritu reke Drine, njenim pregrađivanjem betonskom branom. Na osnovu lokacije, pripada nizinskom tipu. Akumulacija „Zaovine“ je po lokaciji visinskog tipa, a po načinu nastanka reverzibilna. Nastaje izbacivanjem vode iz akumulacije „Perućac“ i sakupljanja vode od Karakliskog i Baturskog Rzava i drugih manjih pritoka. Akumulacija „Spajići“ je visinska sabirna akumulacija koja nastaje od proceđene vode iz jezera „Zaovine“, te reke Zmaje- vačke i Popovića potoka. Jezero „Kruščica“ nastaje od Karaklijskog i Baturskog Rzava i koristi se kao pijaća voda (Hegediš, 2012).
