The Impact of Climate Change on Sustainable Development: The Case of Vojvodina

Abstract

Sustainability Development Goals require each country and region to adjust their environmental and social policies to ensure a timely global response, stabilization of climate, and social equality. Vojvodina's area has unique challenges due to its political status and significant dependence on environmental resources to ensure its economy, energy supply and food security. The researchers reviewed potential challenges to Vojvodina's sustainable development based on analysis of long-term trend changes of temperature and water flow. To support sustainable development, Vojvodina region needs to strive for the integral concept of flood protection, which includes harmonization of “human” demands component and “environmental” demands components.
