resultsGuiding climate compatible development: User-orientated analysis of planning tools and methodologies
Report provides an overview of the tools and methodologies available to plan adaptation, mitigation and development, and to guide decision makers towards climate compatible development pathways.
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.
Guidance note presents various methodologies aimed at carrying out an economic evaluation of adaptation investments in agriculture and natural resource management (NRM), and provides some guidance in selecting the most suitable approach for the project under consideration.
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.
The MEDIATION project guides researchers, policy advisors and experts to suitable climate change adaptation methods and tools for a wide range of questions and from various disciplines and perspectives. The project involves 11 partners and 11 case studies. Summaries of five of these case studies can be found in the present publication.
