Climate variability and change

With the rising impact of global warming and climate change, the Black Sea region will experience increased evaporation that would potentially surpass precipitation in less than a decade, affecting the region's unique agricultural production, an expert has warned.

Mr. urevi, who is also a regular professor at the Faculty of Physics in Belgrade, said in an interview with Blic that he is not surprised by this fact, along with numerous researchers worldwide who have been studying climate changes for decades and who know that we inevitably expect such an outcome.

The likelihood of an increase in drought, albeit not a high-risk one, in Greece in the next few years is obvious from scientific models used and research conducted in the European Union based on recent temperature increases and rainfall decreases.
