Most projections of future climate changes (SRES - Special Report on Emissions Scenarios, IPCC, 2000, 2001, 2007, 2014) indicates to temperature and precipitation significant changes, as well as increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, that will caused many ecological problems and affected on sustainable development across the world. The paper is not based on the experimental methods, but on the methods of analysis and synthesis, with the elements of generalization and specialization, comparative analysis and inductive-deductive methods, modelled on the current theoretical-methodological knowledge. The proposed potential strategic and operational measures of forest ecosystems adaptation in Serbia are based on the previous works, international declarations and experiences verified by practice. Climate changes causes numerous problems in forest ecosystems: degradation, deforestation, increased mortality rates, biodiversity loss, reduced forest ecosystem vitality due to cumulative impact of different stresses etc. The concept of the spatial development of the Republic of Serbia, aimed at the alleviation of the effects of global warming and climate change on the forest ecosystems in Serbia, should include the determination of the effects of climate change on the availability of the natural resources, above all forest ecosystems and biodiversity aimed at planning sustainable development and ecologically acceptable activities in the domains susceptible to the climate change.
