resultsThis paper briefly described the impacts of climate change on European agricultural systems, and further discusses how agriculture in Europe may adapt to climate change and how this may influence European agricultural policy.
To allow a fully informed debate on adaptation, there is a need to consider the economic aspects of adaptation.
This report synthesises the findings of the SoCo project and translates them into conclusions and recommendations. It reviews soil degradation processes, soil conservation practices and policy measures at European level. The analysis is taken to the local scale by means of ten case studies distributed over three macro-regions.
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.
The ADAM work under this Deliverable is divided into two components: • a brief survey (Section 2) of these new studies, identifying their key messages, the methodological approaches adopted, and possible reasons for divergence in method and message; • a more detailed piece of primary research (Section 3) which makes an exploratory attempt to develop an alternative method to those most commonly
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.
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
Review of European valuation and adaptation economics work in Chapter 7
Literature Review, Case Studies and Fiscal Adaptation Costs
Economic costs of climate change in Europe, for some sectors costs and benefits of adaptation (coasts)
Method and case studies for costs of climate change risks and costs (and benefits) of adaptation.
ATEAM's primary objective was to assess the vulnerability of human sectors relying on ecosystem services with respect to global change. We consider vulnerability to be a function of potential impacts and adaptive capacity to global change.
Summarizes and critically assesses different methodologies and results of literature on the economics of adaptation.
This study develops the capacity to estimate and compare the benefits and costs of projects in natural resource sectors that reduce the expected damages from climate change in South Africa (the water sector) and The Gambia (the agricultural sector).
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.
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.
Study is intended to enrich the debate on the economics of climate change including the economic costs and benefits of unilateral and regional actions in Southeast Asia.
Background Paper on Assessment of the Economics of Early Warning Systems for Disaster Risk Reduction
Paper argues for the implementation of Early Warning Systems
Value of development of drought information systems based on geospatial technology. Described in qualitative terms
The study considers the actual and potential roles played by climate information in reducing food insecurity in southern Africa
The overall objective of this scoping study is to gather evidence of existing cooperation amongst the suppliers and users of climate risk information in South Asia, and to identify opportunities for strengthening future data demand and coordination for climate change adaptation and development planning.
This publication aims to present a step-by-step methodological approach to assist project teams to assess and incorporate climate change adaptation measures into agriculture, rural development, and food security investment projects.
This paper reviews the status of weather and climate services in Europe and Central Asia.
This paper examines whether an integrated farm that owns both crops and livestock is more resilient under global warming than a specialized farm in crops. Using around 9000 farm surveys across Africa, we explore how farmers choose one of the farm types and how the net revenue of each type varies across the range of climate in Africa
The guideline assesses the impacts of potential climate change and evaluate appropiate adaptations.
This paper provides some guidance to the policy-oriented researchers’ work on valuing climate change adaptation in developing countries.
These series bring perspectives of a number of practitioners, academia and policymakers on the concept of technologies for adaptation.
This guidebook is intended to assist developing country governments, agriculture practitioners, and stakeholders in conducting Technology needs Assessment (TNA) and prepare technology action plans for adaptation to climate change in the agriculture sector
This report presents 10 examples of Ecosystem-based Adaptation taking place in both developing and developed countries, at national, regional, and local scales, and in marine, terrestrial, and freshwater environments. The case studies demonstrate how Ecosystem-based Adaptation is being implemented at project and programmatic levels.
