Climate change is almost constantly discussed in the media, and it is increasingly pointed out that the EU as well as Croatia are not sufficently prepared for the increasing impacts of climate change. Therefore is needed a faster, smarter and more comprehensive adaptation. Global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise as well as the average global temperatures simultaneously. As the temperature rises, also the risks such as more frequent extreme weather events are rising. It is estimated that Croatia, as a country that largely belongs to the Mediterranean region, is in the bigger risk from the negative impacts of the climate change. Croatia is already exposed to the negative consequences of a climate change, which has caused significant economic losses. If adaptation measures are not implemented, society may face catastrophic consequences for the economy and the environment, thus the sustainable development of society may also be endangered. Since the costs of investment in adaptation can reduce the costs of repairing possible damage in the future, it is important to strategically approach the proccess of adjustment to the climate change, and it is also important to ensure that adjustment measures contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The main goal of the research in this paper work is to examine whether businessmen from the agriculture and tourism industry in the Republic of Croatia have adjusted to climate change. Based on the conducted research, it can be concluded that a larger number of companies from the agriculture and tourism industry in the Republic of Croatia need yet to be adjusted to climate change. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to work more on the informing and spreading knowledge so that as many companies as possible can adjust to the climate change and thus ensure their survival in the future.
