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

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.

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).

Adaptation of Forests to Climate Change

To meet these two objectives, the broad World Bank effort will proceed on two tracks, a case study and an aggregate track. This study is part of the aggregate track, which has two objectives. The first is to ensure the availability of developing country/regional adaptation cost estimates to contribute to the discussion on climate change leading up to the Copenhagen conference in late 2009.

Cost of Adapting Fisheries to Climate Change

To help meet these two objectives, this study is global in its scope. First, we will provide country/regional adaptation costs to contribute to the discussion on climate change leading up to the Copenhagen conference in late 2009. Second, this work will begin to develop the procedures that will be needed to generate aggregate adaptation cost numbers once country case studies are completed.

The Costs of Agricultural Adaptation to Climate Change

The challenge of modeling climate change impacts in agriculture arises in the wide ranging nature of processes that underlie the working of markets, ecosystems, and human behavior. Our analytical framework integrates modeling components that range from the macro to the micro and from processes that are driven by economics to those that are essentially biological in nature.

Impact Assessment on the 2013 Strategy for exercising the Adaptation Reporting Power

The Climate Change Act (2008) gives the Secretary of State the power to direct reporting authorities to produce reports detailing: climate impacts, adaptation, progress assessment. This is known as the Adaptation Reporting Power (ARP). Every five years, the government is required to la y before Parliament a report setting out the government’s approach to exercising the power.
