Scientists for Climate – Croatia Znanstvenici za klimu Hrvatska

Croatian Scientists for Climate unites Croatian scientists from various fields whose goal is to raise awareness about the climate change crisis and conduct activities to prevent the further worsening of that process globally. They are united by their concern, stemming from the increasingly evident consequences of climate change and the lack of systematic debate on the topic in Croatia. Considering scientific findings on climate change, its cause, consequences, forecasts and prospects, they call for ambitious measures to create preconditions for a systematic and comprehensive approach to the climate crisis. Another important activity of this group is supporting existing and emerging climate initiatives as well as educating the general public on all aspects of the current climate crisis. At the beginning of 2020, they set in motion an initiative entitled “Croatian Scientists for Climate – Appeal for Systematic Climate Action”, supported by 555 Croatian scientists. The Appeal was handed over to the institutions of the legislative and executive branches in Croatia in January 2020. In their efforts to focus public attention on this topic, in March 2020, they met with President Zoran Milanović, who underscored the importance of science for the sustainable development of society and of a timely scientific response to changes that are occurring in the environment and the need for preparedness to face the challenges of the day and the future.
