About this project

The country joined international efforts in combating climate change by becoming a party to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. This Action is to support Bosnia and Herzegovina in its efforts to undertake further steps to mitigate and adapt to the climate change. By preparing the study on the EU Emission Trading Scheme in BiH (EU ETS), intervention is fully linked with the Green Agenda for the Western Balkans. On the other hand, Bosnia and Herzegovina is hit by large precipitation causing big floods and high temperatures causing long droughts. Climate change has equally negative impact on water resources. The Action envisages to analyse water balance of watercourses in BiH, prepare a drought risk assessment and mapping, and investigate various flood release scenarios. Besides, climate resilience activities related to strengthening of flood risk management are planned, linked with the establishing of flood forecasting and early warning system in river basins, implementation of ecosystem-based flood risk reduction and climate change adaptation methods and scaling up flood risk asset management. Hence, interventions foreseen under the Climate change adaptation planning and response improved, also contribute to the implementation of the Green Agenda, which states that due to the pressures on water quantity, also due to the droughts in the last years, it is important to secure water availability and resilience in the long-run.
