Climate change: the cost of inaction and the cost of adaption

To allow a fully informed debate on adaptation, there is a need to consider the economic aspects of adaptation.

The Future of European Electricity: Choices before 2020

The paper first elaborates on the impacts of climate change on the European electricity sector and on related adaptation needs. The next section focuses on policy options to facilitate the transition of the electricity sector towards a well-adapted, carbon-lean electricity system.

Total Costs and Budgetary Effects of Adaptation to Climate Change: An Assessment for the European Union

This paper focuses on the fiscal effects of adaptation to climate change. Beside adaptation induced effects, climate change has other fiscal implications, like public spending fo mitigation efforts, the implementation and use of fiscal instruments in climate policy, or reduced tax revenue due to productivity losses in the economy.

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.

Economic Aspects of Adaptation to Climate Change: Costs, Benefits and Policy Instruments.

Assessment of adaptation costs and benefits in climate sensitive sectors, as well as at national and global levels. Discussion of potential and limits of economic and policy instruments that can be used to motivate adaptation actions

Impacts of Europe's changing climate: an indicator-based assessment.

Review of European valuation and adaptation economics work in Chapter 7

The fiscal implications of climate change adaptation

Literature Review, Case Studies and Fiscal Adaptation Costs

Adapting to Climate Change: Costs, Benefits, and Modelling Approaches

Summarizes and critically assesses different methodologies and results of literature on the economics of adaptation.

Sea-Level Rise: The Impacts and Costs of Sea-Level Rise on Coastal Zones in the EU and the Costs and Benefits of Adaptation

Policy brief which provides an overview of the European-wide assessment of the impacts and economic costs of sea-level rise, and an analysis of the costs and benefits of adaptation.

Urban Regions: Vulnerabilities, Vulnerability Assessments by Indicators and Adaptation Options for Climate Change Impacts

Study assesses the feasibility of developing climate change related vulnerability indicators for urban areas to support future EU spatial development policy by reviewing available literature and research activities.

Strategies to Adapt to an Uncertain Climate Change

Paper calls for the development of innovative adaptation strategies able to cope with the uncertainty on future climates, and for more involvement of climate information end-users.

Using medium-range weather forecasts to improve the value of wind energy production

The value of different strategies for consolidating the information in European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) forecasts to wind energy generators is investigated.

The Value of Hurricane Forecasts to Oil and Gas Producers in the Gulf of Mexico

This study estimates the value of both existing and more accurate hurricane forecast information.

Weather and Climate Services in Europe and Central Asia: A Regional Review

This paper reviews the status of weather and climate services in Europe and Central Asia.

Climate impacts on energy systems: key issues for energy sector adaptation

This report is intended as an up-to-date compendium of what is known about weather variability and projected climate trends and their impacts on energy service provision and demand. It discusses emerging practices and tools for managing these impacts and integrating climate considerations into planning processes and operational practices in an environment of uncertainty

Successful adaptation to climate change across scales

The article outlines a set of normative evaluative criteria for judging the success of adaptations at different scales.

IPCC technical guidelines for assessing climate IPCC technical guidelines for assessing climate change impacts and adaptations

The guideline assesses the impacts of potential climate change and evaluate appropiate adaptations.

Economics of adaptation to climate change. Synthesis report

The study has two broad objectives: to develop a global estimate of adaptation costs for informing the international community‘s efforts in the climate negotiations, and to help decisionmakers in developing countries assess the risks posed by climate change and design national strategies for adapting to climate change.

A macroeconomic assessment of impacts and adaptation to climate change in Europe

This report provides a documentation of the integrated macroeconomic general equilibrium model GRACE_adapt, and presents results from the macroeconomic analysis of impacts and adaptation in Europe in case of a +2 °C and +4 °C increase in global mean temperature.

Climate policy and the optimal balance between mitigation, adaptation and unavoided damage

This paper proposes a framework that that integrates mitigation, adaptation and climate change residual damages into an optimisation model

Adaptation options for infrastructure in developing countries

The terms of reference for this paper requested a consideration of adaptation options for infrastructure in developing countries

The adaptation-mitigation dilemma: is nuclear power a practical solution for climate change?

This study demonstrates that applying the criteria to inland and coastal nuclear power plants reveals several significant weaknesses of nuclear power as a mitigation measure for climate change. Cumulatively, these weaknesses make nuclear power an unsuitable mitigation strategy for climate change.

Integrated strategies to reduce vulnerability and advance adaptation, mitigation, and sustainable development

This paper identifies integrated approaches to formulating strategies and measures to concurrently advance adaptation, mitigation and sustainable development

The effect of different mitigation strategies on international financing of adaptation

This study applies an Integrated Assessment Model to gain insight in the interactions between adaptation costs, residual damages and mitigation costs and to analyse the effectiveness of a 2% levy on both the CDM and emissions trading from developing countries.

Efficient adaptation to climate change

This paper stresses the lack of efficciency on adaptation

Adaptation and mitigation: Trade-offs in substance and methods

This paper argues that adaptation and mitigation should be kept largely separate. It also looks at a few exceptions where adaptation and mitigation should be integrated, and warns that the results are even more politically incorrect than seeing adaptation as accepting defeat in mitigation

Sea-Level Rise

Policy brief which provides an overview of the European-wide assessment of the impacts and economic costs of sea-level rise, and an analysis of the costs and benefits of adaptation.

WGII AR5 Chapter 23: Europe.

Describe different impacts and adaptation costs, benefits for sectors in Europe.

Investment needs for future adaptation measures in EU nuclear power plants and other electricity generation technologies due to effects of climate change. Final report.

Climate change is expected to have an impact on the electricity sector, leading to a need to invest in adaptation measures for electricity facilities in the near future. This study aims at specifying and quantifying these needs.

The Costs of Adapting to Climate Change for Infrastructure

An approach to estimating the costs of adapting to climate change is presented along with results for major components of infrastructure. The analysis separates the price/cost and quantity effects of climate change.
