resultsThe regional study KLARA, an acronym for ‘Climate change - impacts, risks, Adaptation’, presents results of investigations on different areas of potential vulnerability for the German federal state of Baden-Württemberg. An essential objective of the study is the identification of impact-reducing measures of adaptation in the areas considered.
Review and Analysis of impacts, costs and use of artificial snow in the Alps
Against the background of global climate change, we may ask which skiing areas can still be considered to offer reliable snow covers in a warmer future, and which areas will cease to be suppliers in the winter tourism industry due to insufficient snow covers.
In this paper, the economic value of the impacts of climate change is assessed for different Italian economic sectors and regions. Sectoral and regional impacts are then aggregated to provide a macroeconomic estimate of variations in GDP induced by climate change in the next decades.
To allow a fully informed debate on adaptation, there is a need to consider the economic aspects of adaptation.
This volume examines the implications of climate change for the economies in the European Alps. It focuses on adaptation measures to address two key vulnerabilities: increasing losses in winter tourism due to reduced snow cover, and increased exposure of settlements and infrastructure to natural hazards.
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)
The core purpose of ADAM work package A2.4 was to address this gap in knowledge by undertaking a systematic review of existing and potential adaptation option across the EU (and internationally, where this information added value), with a specific focus on innovative technologies and institutions that can manage, reduce and/or transfer the risks associated with extreme events.
A "bottom-up" study of potential climate change impact costs in the UK that reflects the priorities identified by regional stakeholder groups within the UK.
Assessment of damage costs and costs for adaptation for climate change in different sectors in Germany, The results are based on the the Integrated Assessment Model of Economy-Energy-Climate – The model WIAGEM.
Costs of adaptation for many sectors, costs and benefits for road transport sector
Assessment of impacts of 2003-summer for some sectors in the UK, cost 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.
Study covers the impacts and economics costs of climate change, the costs of adaptation, and the potential for low carbon growth in Kenya.
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.

Contributes to the existing literature by implementing Monte Carlo simulations and real options valuation in estimating SLR costs and adaptation benefits under uncertainty in Greece.
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.
Review of the annual economic and social benefits associated with the PWS (Public Weather Service) within the UK.
The principle objectives of this study is to identify, analyze and quantify the economic costs of climate change for Mexico and, on the basis of the results, propose and recommend appropriate measures for public policy, both for adaptation and mitigation.
Study examines the consequences of an increase in average temperatures of up to 1°C by 2050 and up to 2.75°C by 2100 for the frequency and intensity of major cyclones that hit the islands.
