Abstract

Globalne klimatske promjene i njihovi učinci na sve segmente ljudskog života takvog su intenziteta da su izazvali zabrinutost čitave međunarodne zajednice. Prepoznata je potreba hitnog i koordiniranog djelovanja kako bi se ti učinci mogli djelotvorno ublažiti. Zemlje članice Europske unije preuzele su značajne obveze u procesu prilagodbe i ostvarivanju klimatske neutralnosti. Proučavanjem relevantne literature i dostupnih baza podataka, metodom komparacije i analize namjerava se dati prikaz ispunjavanja preuzetih obveza te izvesti zaključke o utjecaju tih mjera na njihovu fiskalnu održivost. Implementacija troškova klimatske prilagodbe predstavlja dodatno fiskalno opterećenje, što za gospodarski slabije razvijene države članice može biti prepreka gospodarskom razvoju. Usporedbom udjela klimatskog duga u BDP-u zemalja članica u različitim scenarijima pokušat će se donijeti zaključak o njegovom utjecaju na gospodarstvo u cjelini i održavanje ravnoteže u ionako heterogeno gospodarski razvijenoj Europskoj uniji. Zamjetne su razlike u metodologiji pri izvještavanju i praćenju klimatskih utjecaja na fiskalno opterećenje što otežava sustavno praćenje i mogućnost usporedivosti rezultata te iznalaženje novih mjera čija bi implementacija pomogla u provedbi zacrtanog.

Abstract (english)

Global climate change and its impact on all segments of human life is of such intensity that it has raised concerns among the entire international community. The need for urgent and coordinated action was recognized in order to effectively mitigate these effects. Member states of the European Union have undertaken significant commitments in the process of adapting and achieving climate neutrality. By studying relevant literature and available databases, the method of comparison and analysis aims to present the fulfilment of commitments and draw conclusions on the impact of these measures on member states’ fiscal sustainability. The implementation of climate adaptation costs represents an additional fiscal burden, which may be an obstacle to economic development for economically less developed member states. A comparison of climate debt-to-GDP ratio of member states in different scenarios will lead to a conclusion on its impact on the economy as a whole and maintaining a balance in the already heterogeneous economically developed European Union. Differences in methodology in reporting and monitoring of climate impacts on fiscal burden are noticeable, which makes it difficult to systematically monitor and compare results and find new measures whose implementation would help with the implementation of planned measures.
