Economic Aspects of adaptation to climate change: Integrated assessment modelling of adaptation costs and benefits

The report seeks to inform critical questions with regard to policy mixes of investments in adaptation and mitigation, and how they might vary over time. This is facilitated here by examining adaptation within global Integrated Assessment Modelling frameworks.

Adaptation in integrated assessment modeling: where do we stand?

It is analyzed how modelers have chosen to describe adaptation within an integrated framework, and suggest many ways they could improve the treatment of adaptation by considering more of its bottom-up characteristic

Handbook on Methods for Climate Change Impact Assessment and Adaptation Strategies

This handbook is designed to provide newcomers to the field of climate impact and adaptation assessment with a guide to available research methods, particularly for answering the first question.

Report on the technical workshop on costs and benefits of adaptation options

This report provides a summary of the technical workshop on costs and benefits of adaptation options, organized under the Nairobi work programme on impacts, vulnerability and adaptation to climate change. Discussions at the workshop addressed methodologies for assessing costs and benefits of adaptation options and how these methodologies are applied in and across different sectors.

Plan or React?: Analysis of Adaptation Costs and Benefits Using Integrated Assessment Models

This report examines adaptation and mitigation within an integrated framework. Global and regional costs of adaptation are assessed dynamically and the resulting benefits are also quantified. This is accomplished by developing a framework to incorporate adaptation as a policy choice variable within three Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs).
