By now it is widely accepted that due to global warming, precipitation and evapotranspiration patterns will change in the cross-border region of Hungary and Serbia, resulting in a more dynamic hydrological cycle. Consequently, an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events is expected, affecting various aspects of human life.
Weather extremes and related flood and drought events have become a significant threat to communities, infrastructure, and ecosystems in the Tisa/Tisza River Basin. These call for joint action to tackle the current challenges water management faces. The ADAPTisa project develops continuous, data-driven cooperation between water and disaster managers in the Hungary-Serbia cross-border region, focusing on mitigating hydrological risks and improving the region’s adaptation capacity and resilience.
In order to reduce climate change-related risks, primarily flood and drought, four main coherent outcomes are planned, which effectively contribute to the improvement of the risk prevention and disaster management systems and to the increase the climate change resilience of the border region:
