Literature Review, Case Studies and Fiscal Adaptation Costs
Work Package undertakes a systematic review of existing and potential adaptation options across the EU, with a specific focus on innovative technologies and institutions that can manage, reduce and/or transfer the risks associated with extreme events.
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.
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 is about how additional adaptation funds should be allocated among countries. The focus is on public sector assistance, although public funds may ultimately also be used to support private adaptation
This paper proposes a framework that that integrates mitigation, adaptation and climate change residual damages into an optimisation model
This report proposes a general economic framework to help stakeholders in the public sector to develop effective adaptation strategies
This report is part of a series of annual progress reports by the Adaptation Sub-Committee to assess how the country is preparing for the major risks and opportunities from climate change. Together these reports will provide the baseline evidence for the Committee’s statutory report to Parliament on preparedness due in 2015.
Describe different impacts and adaptation costs, benefits for sectors in Europe.
With this climate adaptation plan we will outline the challenges the city faces in the short and medium terms as a result of changes we expect in the future climate. We will also identify those solutions that, based on our present-day knowledge, appear to be most appropriate and reveal the opportunities climate change may also present to the city.
