A qualitative assessment of climate adaptation options and some estimates of adaptation costs

The aim of the current study is to provide a ‘qualitative assessment’ of the direct and indirect effects of adaptation options and to provide an assessment of some of the costs and benefits of adaptation options.

Environmental and Economic Costs of Soil Erosion and Conservation Benefits

In this article, we (i) examine the ways in which erosion reduces soil fertility and crop productivity, (ii) assess the environmental and economic costs of soil erosion, and (iii) compare various agricultural techniques and practices that reduce erosion and help conserve water and soil resources.

The Economics of Adaptation to Climate Change – The Case of Germany

Therefore, this paper aims at developing a broad economic framework for adaptation which can provide a foundation and a starting point for future economic research. The economic analysis allows us to distinguish between autonomous adaptation by private agents on the one hand and collective adaptation measures by government entities on the other.

Climate adaptation in the Netherlands

In spite of various mitigation strategies that are being implemented to reduce and prevent future adverse effects of climate change, there is widespread agreement that climate change will nonetheless take place. This report anticipates on the urgent need to respond adequately to climate change in the Netherlands by identifying adaptation strategies both for the public and private sector.

Analyse des Sachstands zu Auswirkungen von Klimaveränderungen auf die deutsche Landwirtschaft und Maßnahmen zur Anpassung (Analysis of Status of Climate Impacts for German agriculture and Adaptation measures)

Project E – Quantify the cost of impacts and adaptation

Previous global studies have identified the energy sector as one of the most important for future climate change impact analysis in Western Europe (e.g. Eyre et al, 1998). The changing climate in the UK will shift energy demand patterns for heating and cooling, as well as changing the resource availability of many renewable technologies (e.g. hydro, wind, even biomass).

The Vulnerability of the Snow Industry in the Swiss 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.

The KyotoPlus-Navigator is a guideline to support climate mitigation and adaptation in households. It contains concrete instruments and a "2-step stategy" to behavioural change. All information will be illustrated by good-practice-examples.

Energy Infrastructures in France: Climate Change Vulnerabilities and Adaptation Possibilities

The interest of this paper is to focus on the development of adaptive actions for the French energy infrastructures. The energy infrastructures considered concern the energy production, storage, and the energy grid. The vulnerabilities to climate change are analyzed taking into account both the seasonal and the extreme events.

Case Study Germany. Sustainable Agriculture and Soil Conservation (SoCo Project)

The case studies cover: (1) a screening of farming practices that address soil conservation processes (soil erosion, soil compaction, loss of soil organic matter, contamination, etc.); the extent of their application under the local agricultural and environmental conditions; their potential effect on soil conservation; and their economic aspects (in the context of overall farm management); (2)

Insurance Against Climate Change and Flooding in the Netherlands: Present, Future, and Comparison with Other Countries

This article discusses the role insurance can play in adapting to climate change impacts. The particular focus is on the Dutch insurance sector, in view of the Netherlands being extremely vulnerable to climate change impacts.
