“…The lack of clean drinking water threatens the sanitary conditions of life [72,73], increasing the risk of disease [71]. Climate variability has a strong impact on public health, and at the same time there is a problem of water-related diseases [74], especially in the conditions of changing climate scenarios -temperature rise [75,76], uneven precipitation temporally and spatially [77][78][79], flash floods, severe droughts and sea level rise [80][81][82], heatwaves etc.…”

The aim of our paper is economic vulnerability assessment in the water sector of Montenegro, with a focus on electricity production in hydropower plants. The absence of an officially defined methodology in Montenegro, as well as in the region of South-East Europe represents a kind of challenge for research of this type especially for the assessment of economic damage caused by climate change and in the future period. In our paper, we treated negative impacts in the water sector as additional costs for the import of electricity due to reduced electricity production caused by the reduction of water potential due to climate change. After collecting, processing and analyzing data on electricity production in Montenegro, we prepared a projection of this production in the future period for the basic scenario - “without climate change”. This was followed by an assessment of the quantitative damage, in accordance with the determined climate scenarios. After analyzing electricity prices in the European market, we defined future unit were defined as a basis for damage assessment. We conclude the paper with the calculation and projection of economic damages caused by climate change in the Montenegrin energy sector. The basic variant of the analysis would be the existing price of electricity imports for 2022, in the amount of 200 EUR per MWh. The other two variants would be one higher and one lower electricity import prices (250 and 150 EUR per MWh, respectively), in order to gain an overview of the future price fluctuations in a certain way.

“…Climate variability and change influences ground and surface water systems both directly through replenishment by recharge and evaporation and indirectly through changes in water use (Taylor et al 2013 ; Kløve et al 2014 ; Kareem et al 2021 ). The catastrophic impacts of climate change on water resources include uneven precipitation distribution temporally and spatially (Graef and Haigis 2001 ; Shawul and Chakma 2020 ; Mandal et al 2021 ), decreasing snow cover resulting from warmer temperatures, floods, drought, and sea-level rise (Adamo et al 2018 ; Das and Goyal 2021 ; Kareem et al 2020 ) and rising groundwater levels. The weakness and fragility of water management systems in Iraq, in addition to its arid and warmer climate, and its increased exposure to extreme weather events, increase its vulnerability to climate change more than other countries (Carattini et al 2020 ; Wynes and Nicholas 2017 ; Mohammad 2014 ).…”

Perception of climate change effects on water resources: Iraqi undergraduates as a case study

et al. 2022

Developing countries suffer from the effects of climate change on water resources more than other countries. This paper aims to specify the undergraduates’ knowledge about climate change effects on water resources. This study was conducted through a questionnaire distributed using Google form in May 2021. Descriptive analysis was used to display the level of awareness, and then the correlation between the respondents’ gender, stage, and scientific specialization were analyzed. The results showed that the general knowledge for all questionaries ranged between 40 and 50 %. Moreover, a weak positive correlation with the highest Spearman’s rho of 0.15 was shown for the students’ gender with their understanding of climate change main cause by 0.06 for the academic stage versus knowledge of climate change causes. Moreover, the results indicated a weak role for university education in exchange for a prominent role for television and social media in raising awareness. The research recommends integrating the Environmental Education (EE) programs into the Iraqi educational systems as it proposes a systematic educational method through which climate change and other environmental problems may be addressed holistically at all educational levels.
