Costs of Fisheries Management: The Cases of Iceland, Norway and Newfoundland

Taking it for granted that the purpose of fisheries management is to increase the flow of net economic benefits from the fishing activity, the costs of operating the fisheries management system itself are obviously among those that have to be subtracted to arrive at the net benefits of fishing.

Fisheries Management Costs: Concepts and Studies

Few doubt the need for government intervention to manage the use of fisheries resources. The nature of access to fisheries resources means that intervention is required to provide for optimal economic performance and to meet environmental objectives. Management authorities therefore spend considerable funds to conduct stock research, make decisions and enforce those decisions.

Improving public health responses to extreme weather/heat-waves – EuroHEAT

EuroHEAT, a project co-funded by the European Commission Directorate-General for Health and Consumers, aimed to improve public health responses to weather extremes and to heat-waves in particular. Climate change is projected to lead to an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, including heat-waves.

Lyme borreliosis in Europe: influences of climate and climate change, epidemiology, ecology and adaptation measures

This document presents the results of an extensive literature review on Lyme borreliosis (LB) combined with input from leading experts in this field. In the cCASHh project several health impact assessments, adaptation assessments, cost–benefit analysis and integrated assessment modelling (health futures) were carried out.

Adaptation to Climate Change in the Agricultural Sector

This study on ‘Adaptation to Climate Change in the Agricultural Sector’ aims to provide the European Commission with an improved understanding of the potential implications of climate change and adaptation options for European agriculture, covering the EU 27 Member States.

Impacts of Climate Change on European Forests and Options for Adaptation

This study compiles and summarizes the existing knowledge about observed and projected impacts of climate change on forests in Europe and reviews options for forests and forestry to adapt to climate change.

Agricultural Impacts and Adaptations to Climate Change in Europe

This paper briefly described the impacts of climate change on European agricultural systems, and further discusses how agriculture in Europe may adapt to climate change and how this may influence European agricultural policy.

Künstliche Beschneiung im Alpenraum. Ein Hintergrundbericht. (Artificial snowing in the Alps. A Background report.)

Review and Analysis of impacts, costs and use of artificial snow in the Alps

Risikotransfersysteme für Naturkatastrophen in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz - Ein theoretischer und empirischer Vergleich. (Risk transfer systems for natural disaster in Germany, Austria and Switzerland - A theoretical and empirical Comparis

This paper compares alternative risk transfer mechanisms (insurance solutions) in three countries, which were affected by the flood event in August 2005, namely Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The comparison focuses on the ability of the institutional solutions to dampen economic shocks caused by natural hazard events.

Stürme, Fluten, Erdbeben – Wie sich Europa gegen Naturkatastrophen versichern kann (Storms, Floods, Avalanches - How Europe can insure against natural disasters)

Description of insurance situation against natural disasters in Germany

Climate change: the cost of inaction and the cost of adaption

To allow a fully informed debate on adaptation, there is a need to consider the economic aspects of adaptation.

The Future of European Electricity: Choices before 2020

The paper first elaborates on the impacts of climate change on the European electricity sector and on related adaptation needs. The next section focuses on policy options to facilitate the transition of the electricity sector towards a well-adapted, carbon-lean electricity system.

Final report on the project 'Sustainable Agriculture and Soil Conservation'

This report synthesises the findings of the SoCo project and translates them into conclusions and recommendations. It reviews soil degradation processes, soil conservation practices and policy measures at European level. The analysis is taken to the local scale by means of ten case studies distributed over three macro-regions.

Total Costs and Budgetary Effects of Adaptation to Climate Change: An Assessment for the European Union

This paper focuses on the fiscal effects of adaptation to climate change. Beside adaptation induced effects, climate change has other fiscal implications, like public spending fo mitigation efforts, the implementation and use of fiscal instruments in climate policy, or reduced tax revenue due to productivity losses in the economy.

Strategic Assessment of the Impacts, Damage Costs, and Adaptation Costs of Climate Change in Europe

The ADAM work under this Deliverable is divided into two components: • a brief survey (Section 2) of these new studies, identifying their key messages, the methodological approaches adopted, and possible reasons for divergence in method and message; • a more detailed piece of primary research (Section 3) which makes an exploratory attempt to develop an alternative method to those most commonly

Economic Approaches to Climate Change Adaptation and their role in project prioritisation and appraisal

In this paper the authors Peter Kuch and Simone Gigli have been applying their economist’s thinking to the challenge of how to prioritise and appraise adaptation options in developing countries.

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).

Climate Change in the European Alps. Adapting Winter Tourism and Natural Hazards Management.

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.

Potential costs and benefits of adaptation options: A review of existing literature

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.

Economic Aspects of Adaptation to Climate Change: Costs, Benefits and Policy Instruments.

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

Impacts of Europe's changing climate: an indicator-based assessment.

Review of European valuation and adaptation economics work in Chapter 7

The fiscal implications of climate change adaptation

Literature Review, Case Studies and Fiscal Adaptation Costs

Improving public health responses to extreme weather/heat-waves – EuroHEAT'

Costs of existing public heat alert systems across Europe; EuroHEAT, a project co-funded by the European Commission Directorate-General for Health and Consumers, aimed to improve public health responses to weather extremes and to heat-waves in particular.

Climate change impacts in Europe. Final report of the PESETA research project

Economic costs of climate change in Europe, for some sectors costs and benefits of adaptation (coasts)

PESETA - Coastal Zones

Costs and benefits of adaptation for coastal zones in Europe using the DIVA model

Threat of sea-level rise: Costs and benefits of adaptation in the European Union Coastal Countries

Thes use the DIVA tool to calculate the benefits of a normative coastal protection target versus a business as usual (BAU) scenario for the EU coastal states.

Shaping Climate-resilient Development a framework for decision-making.

Method and case studies for costs of climate change risks and costs (and benefits) of adaptation.

The Potential Costs of Climate Change Adaptation for the Water Industry. Report to Environment Agency

Case studies to provide national estimates of costs for water sector - for altered water quality and stormwater flood risks

ATEAM Final report

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.
