1. Résumé du proje In December 2015, France will host the United Nations Climate Change Conference or COP21 (www.cop21.gouv.fr/en). This event will be the crucial moment in preparing a universal agreement setting the framework for a transition towards resilient, low-carbon economies and societies. Croatia will also organize a major event on climate issues. It will host the most prestigious climatologists between the 5 and 8 October, on the occasion of the 42nd Plenary Session of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). Given the importance of COP 21, numerous mobilization initiatives have already been launched in Croatia as well as in many other countries.

With the support of the French Embassy in Croatia and the Croatian Ministry of Environmental and Nature Protection, the Forum that will bring together scientists, policy makers, and representatives of civil society, will be held in Zagreb on 2 and 3 October as an introduction to the IPCC Plenary Session in Dubrovnik. The main aim of this Forum is to promote awareness and debate in Central and South Eastern Europe on climate change in all its aspects – observation, effects, mitigation and adaptation. Indeed, the tragic floods in Croatia and its surroundings in spring and summer 2014 highlighted that no country is protected from the impacts of climate change. In addition, an “agenda of solutions” should be considered: climate change brings opportunities to create jobs, “green growth” and to invent new forms of production and consumption. Croatia, along with its neighbouring countries, could play a key role in the field of energy transition in Europe. On the one hand South Eastern Europe has a significant potential for implementation of renewable energy in the world (such as solar and wind energies and hydroelectricity) and on the other, the region is extremely vulnerable to climate change. Working languages of the Forum will be Croatian, French and English and simultaneous interpretation will be provided. Workshops will be held in English and Croatian and simultaneous interpretation will be provided. During the Forum, the participants are kindly invited to be actively involved in the debates and workshops.
