| ABSTRACT | The paper reports two studies one climate variability and climate change: one for the coastal zones of Tunisia and one for the county of Sibenik-Knin in Croatia. Each case study looks at the data on past and projected vulnerability of the economy and society to climate variability and change. It assesses what actions are feasible to address the identified impacts and how well supported these actions are from the data and knowledge at our disposal. The comparison draws some lessons on the differences between the two countries in terms of knowledge base, institutions and actions that can be justified at the present time. Data gaps are identified in each case, so that more effective planning can be made in the future. |
