Parks Dinarides implemented the project “Climate change in protected areas”. The aim of the project was to draw attention to the sensitivity of the most valuable natural areas and ecosystems in Montenegro to the increased impacts of climate change.

As the impact of climate change on protected areas in Montenegro is insufficiently recognized in the strategic documents adopted so far in this area, climate change is also a challenge in protected area management.

This project assessed the vulnerability of protected areas in Montenegro in relation to the identified climate trends and developed recommendations that would be applicable to individual protected areas in order to improve management. Through cooperation and communication with protected area managers, but also of all parties involved, it contributed to improving the capacity to identify threats related to climate change, as well as strengthening overall awareness of these changes and improved the exchange of information in this area.
