Potential costs and benefits of adaptation options: A review of existing literature

Critique of UNFCCC (2007) and comment on global adaptation financing needs for 2030 in developing countries. Concludes the costs of adapting to climate change have been significantly under-estimated.

MEDIATION Project Briefing Notes 1-9: Methods Overview; Cost-Effectiveness Analysis; Robust Decision Making; Real Options Analysis; Portfolio Analysis; Multi-Criteria Analysis; Analytic Hierarchy Process; Social Network Analysis; and Adaptation Turning

The 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.

National Adaptation Plans: Technical Guidelines for the National Adaptation Plan Process

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.

IUPA: a tool for the evaluation of the general usefulness of practices for adaptation to climate change and variability

A prototype multi-purpose index is proposed for use in the evaluation of practices for adaptation to climate variability and change.

Impact Assessment Guidelines

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.

Part III: Annexes to Impact Assessment Guidelines

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. The Annexes deliver more support.

Economic approaches for assessing climate change adaptation options under uncertainty

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.

Routledge Handbook of the Economics of Climate Change Adaptation

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.

Annotated guidelines for the preparation of national adaptation programmes of action

Compendium on methods and tools to evaluate impacts of, and vulnerability and adaptation to, climate change

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.
