resultsThe FP7 MEDIATION project has undertaken a detailed review of decision support tools, and has tested them in a series of case studies. It has assessed their applicability for adaptation and analysed how they consider uncertainty.
Technical guidelines to support the NAP (National Adaptation Plan) process. These technical guidelines will assist the LDCs in comprehensively addressing adaptation in a coherent and strategic manner.
A prototype multi-purpose index is proposed for use in the evaluation of practices for adaptation to climate variability and change.
These Guidelines are for Commission staff preparing impact assessments. They consist of a core text (this document) and annexes. The core text explains what IA is, presents the key actors, sets out the procedural rules for preparing, carrying out and presenting an IA, and gives guidance on the analytical steps to follow in the IA work.

This study was commissioned as part of IMACC to look at approaches for the economic assessment of climate change adaptation options. Special emphasis is being placed on the issue of including uncertainty in the economic assessment and respective approaches. The study’s terms of reference (ToRs), define three main tasks: 1.
This book deals with the difficulties that face the economics of adaptation. Critical issues include: uncertainty; baselines; reversibility, flexibility and adaptive management; distributional impacts; discount rates and time horizons; mixing monetary and non-monetary evaluations and limits to the use of cost-benefit analysis; economy-wide impacts and cross-sectoral linkages.
Describes annotated guidelines for the preparation of national adaptation programmes of action
In 1999, the UNFCCC Secretariat took a first step towards disseminating information on methods and tools when it produced a report entitled Compendium of Decision Tools to Evaluate Strategies for Adaptation to Climate Change. Since then, the adaptation assessment process has changed considerably and in some ways grown more sophisticated.
