12 What is DIVA? DIVA Dynamic Interactive Vulnerability Assessment considered as currently most comprehensive and most relevant method policy-wise integrated global model for assessing biophysical and socioeconomic consequence of sea-level rise and associated extreme water levels acc. to various physical and socio-economic scenarios, taking into account various adaptation strategies. University of Kiel DIVA was formed within DINAS COAST project, and applied in others such as PESETA, CLIMATE-COST, ADAM and BRANCH, UNFCCC report on coastal area adaptation, in Asia-Pacific Integrated Coastal Vulnerability Assessment Network of Southeast and East Asia, COMPASS project for Argentina, Bracil and Chile etc. Meeting to present initial resullts DIVA and LA, Split, 4 5 November, 2013

26 LEGAL BASIS ICZM Protocol Zoning Plan of the Šibenik Knin County At national level, no legal obligations to prepare ICZM plans or CC adaptation plans exist yet EXPECTED RESULTS ICZM plan is not a zoning, normative or regulatory document, but an indicative plan It defines specially endangered areas in relation to coastal processes, particularly areas vulnerable to climate change and variability It suggests mitigation measures which should be incorporated into normative plans It defines a system of coastal zone management: instruments to avoid conflicts, achieve agreement and consensus Primarily a long term plan, in line with the long term nature of the consequences of coastal processes CroAdapt Nacionalno savjetovanje: Meeting to present Prilagodba initial resullts klimatskim DIVA promjenama and LA, Split, u Hrvatskoj, 4 5 November, Zagreb, 2013
