      abstract = {This book provides a concise overview of facts and  projections about climate change in Cyprus and its region  until the end of the 21st century. Climate change is  expected to have adverse effects in Mediterranean Europe -  the most serious compared to other European regions. Being  an island state with a semi-arid climate in the Eastern  Mediterranean, Cyprus is located in a hot spot. Based on  the information available in the literature, it highlights  the expected natural, economic and societal impacts of  climate change and presents recommendations for the  implementation of a national adaptation strategy. Despite  the dismal outlook arising from this review, the book  demonstrates that coping with climate change is possible,  provided that proactive actions are taken by both the  public and the private sector. Public authorities need to  set clear priorities and set up adequate monitoring  mechanisms that can help avoid large natural and economic  damages at a later stage. Enabling private adaptation  investments and properly pricing the use of natural  resources are key priorities for investing in a climate  resilient economy.},
