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 Climate Change Act (2008) gives the Secretary of State the power to direct reporting authorities to produce reports detailing: climate impacts, adaptation, progress assessment. This is known as the Adaptation Reporting Power (ARP). Every five years, the government is required to la y before Parliament a report setting out the government’s approach to exercising the power.
Summarizes and critically assesses different methodologies and results of literature on the economics of adaptation.
Determines the extent to which economic impacts of climate change in Brazil are taken into account for development agenda. Economic assessment of expected climate change impacts in Brazil within varying scenarios, identify economic and social vulnerabilities, and determine cost-effective strategies to deal with risks.
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.
Describes in detail the main models, assumptions, and analysis methods used in the large report: Economics of Adaptation to Climate Change: Ethiopia.
Main goal is to aid Ethiopia's government to understand the potential economic impacts of climate change and to develop sound policies and investments in response to such impacts. Adaptation options and their costs are estimated and compared with the costs of inaction.
Study covers the impacts and economics costs of climate change, the costs of adaptation, and the potential for low carbon growth in Tanzania.
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.
Executive summary of report (in English)
Extensive study of the international literature concerning the effects of climate change and the associated costs, scaled to the Flemish context for an initial estimate of the potential cost of climate change in Flanders. (in Flemish)
Local case studies to the report: Adaptatie aan Klimaatveranderiung - Globale Kosten en Praktische Voorbelden. Literatuurstudie.(Adaptation to Climate Change: Global Costs and Practical Examples)
Document develops a “real options” approach for planning new water resources infrastructure investments and their operating strategies in a world of climate change uncertainty.
Paper discusses the economic theory of adaptation as well as the empirical adaptation literature with a focus on developing countries.
Given projected climate change in the UK, the report looks at the need for further action in relation to heat impacts on people in residential buildings.
Analysis investigates current and likely adaptation actions and identifies the key barriers to actions being widely implemented, effective, timely and proportionate to the challenges facing the UK.
Report presents a framework for appraising different adaptation actions, focusing specifically on the appraisal of flood risk management initiatives.
Programme, drawn up by the government, industry and other non government organisations, contains a mix of policies and actions to help the UK to adapt successfully to future weather conditions, by dealing with the risks and making the most of the opportunities.
Analytical annex for the The National Adaptation Programme. Contains the current evidence base for adaptation decision-making and presents the analysis that informs the National Adaptation Programme’s approach to adaptation to climate change.
Chapter assesses the literature on the economics of climate change adaptation, building on the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) and the increasing role that economic considerations are playing in adaptation decisionmaking and policy.
This Analytical Brief serves as a starting point for dialogue on water security in the United Nations system.
The primary objective of this study has been to develop a comprehensive, participatory, and indigenously oriented climate change review study in Zanzibar, in order to address the required implementation formula in climate change adaptation and mitigation.
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
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.
This paper offers the first emphirical assessment of the linkages between microfinance supported activities and adaptation to climate change.
This paper proposes a framework that that integrates mitigation, adaptation and climate change residual damages into an optimisation model
This state-level assessment of climate change impacts is specifically geared to assist in the development of adaptation strategies. It acknowledges the need to plan for and adapt to climate change impacts in a range of sectors:
This chapter assesses how countries are managing current and projected disaster risks, given knowledge of how risks are changing with observations and projections of weather and climate extremes, vulnerability and exposure, and impacts.
This note builds on Dobes (2008) and Dobes (2010) which propose that the „real options‟ approach is ideally suited to addressing the climatic uncertainty associated with adaptation measures.
