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.
The article outlines a set of normative evaluative criteria for judging the success of adaptations at different scales.
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 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.
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 report provides a documentation of the integrated macroeconomic general equilibrium model GRACE_adapt, and presents results from the macroeconomic analysis of impacts and adaptation in Europe in case of a +2 °C and +4 °C increase in global mean temperature.
The paper analytically explores the optimal policy mix between mitigation and environmental adaptation against climate change at a macroeconomic level. It focuses on a long-term dynamic analysis of a model with accumulation in physical capital, greenhouse gases, and adaptation capital.
This case-study deals with local institutional adaptation to climate change of water-related infrastructures in the Easter Ontario region. Canada.
This paper reviews broadly the approaches adopted by a number of different professional interest groups to the issue of adaptation and outlines an economic perspective
This paper focuses on the need to ensure inclusion and social equity in adaptation planning as climate change issues disproportionately impact health, settlement, and livelihoods of these vulnerable groups
This paper identifies integrated approaches to formulating strategies and measures to concurrently advance adaptation, mitigation and sustainable development
This report proposes a general economic framework to help stakeholders in the public sector to develop effective adaptation strategies
This study applies an Integrated Assessment Model to gain insight in the interactions between adaptation costs, residual damages and mitigation costs and to analyse the effectiveness of a 2% levy on both the CDM and emissions trading from developing countries.
This review of the academic and “grey” literature provides an overview assessment of the state of the art in the quantification and valuation of climate risks at the city-scale
This paper discusses how adaptation funding may be allocated among developing countries in a transparent, efficient and equitable way.
The EACC study addresses many of the shortcomings found in the adaptation cost literature
The study aims to develop a global estimate of adaptation costs for informing the international community’s efforts in the climate negotiations
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.
