Computer simulations of the climate on the territory of the Balkan Peninsula and the Black Sea region have been developed by scientists under the National Science Programme “Environmental Protection and Reduction of the Risk of Adverse Events and Natural Disasters”. As a result, regional climate databases have been generated for the periods 1975-2005 (current climate), 2020-2050 (near future) and 2070-2100 (far future). Simulations of future climates were made for the three commonly accepted global climate change scenarios: optimistic, stabilizing and pessimistic. A number of climate indices are calculated that assess the impact of a given past/present and/or future climate on the environment, human health, ecosystems and various aspects of economic activity.
