Sažetak
Former Kyoto Protocol's policy with the aim of adapting to climate change put the burden of reducing greenhouse gas emissions only on industrial installations. Reduction achieved is not enough to achieve the global goal, therefore, the EU assumed a greater role in greenhouse gas emission reduction and, by Policy 20-20-20, plans to reduce the emissions in the period from 2013 to 2020 for 20% in comparison to 1990. Governments of the agreement signatories are preparing projections of greenhouse gas emissions by 2020, with trends by 2030 and 2050. The economic sector is faced with two choices ; they can reduce the overall CO2 emissions or buy the allowances for CO2 emissions. The public and civil sector is required to prepare and disseminate information in adaptation to changes and consequences brought on by climate change. By qualitative methods, a problem-oriented in-depth interview and participant observation, empiric material was collected from the target sample of the concerned public in Split, Solin and Kaštela. The sample of respondents was defined by 100 entities. The demographic structure of the sample was executed by gender, age, education level, employment status and the place of residence. The study was carried out to determine the level of awareness of target and sector groups ; and their willingness to change in adaptation to climate change. Descriptive analysis and quantification of coded, qualitatively treated sample of conditional matrix was performed for the purpose of further analysis of differences. Based on the SWOT analysis, a proposal of measures was made for economic, public and civil sector with the aim of raising awareness and informing the public about the importance of adaptation to climate change.
