resultsAim is to develop an adaptation cost curve for the residential buildings sector for a geographical area within the UK and Identify a series of no- and low-regrets options that apply broadly across the UK.
Executive summary of report (in English)
Extensive study of the international literature concerning the effects of climate change and the associated costs, scaled to the Flemish context for an initial estimate of the potential cost of climate change in Flanders. (in Flemish)
Article provides a summary of the CPRA Planning Tool, a computer-based decision support tool, that supported the development of the Louisiana Master Plan through CPRA and community-based deliberations.
Report describes RAND's contributions to the Colorado River Basin Water Supply and Demand Study with a focus on the methodological underpinnings to provide a more useful resource for other planners wishing to replicate or expand on the methodologies used.
Paper proposes a method for decisionmaking under deep uncertainty called Dynamic Adaptive Policy Pathways, which is a combination of Adaptive Policymaking and Adaptation Pathways.
Document develops a “real options” approach for planning new water resources infrastructure investments and their operating strategies in a world of climate change uncertainty.
Paper uses RDM (Robust Decision Making) methods to help water agencies in the western United States develop robust, adaptive strategies that could successfully accommodate the uncertain effects of climate change and other water management conditions.
Paper applies robust anticipated adaptation strategies that aim at reducing vulnerability in the largest possible range of climate changes to dam dimensioning in the water management sector
Paper investigates the association between temperature and hospital admissions in California from 1999 to 2005.
Report illustrates the application of Real Option Value approach to guide decision-making under high levels of uncertainty in Campeche, Mexico.
Strategic Outline Programme (SOP) document presents the Environment Agency’s 90‐year tidal defence investment plan for London and the Thames estuary.
Compares two different approaches to climate risk assessment in adaptation planning and describes a framework for robust adaptation decision-making that departs from traditional‘predict and provide’ methods.
Report draws on lessons learned during TE2100 to demonstrate how such large-scale decisions can be made robust in the face of deep uncertainty over future climate using a route-map approach.
Value of development of drought information systems based on geospatial technology. Described in qualitative terms
Value of improving hurricane forecasts, using survey-based methods to analyze choices between potential forecast improvement programs.
The reports analyses capacity building, and training on early warning system and flood risk prevention.
The study specifically focuses on response and resilience for pastoralists in the face of drought
This research synthesis provides policy-makers and practitioners with an understanding of the building blocks for effective adaptation decision-making, as evidenced through the NCCARF research program. It synthesised a portfolio of adaptation research for each Australian state and territory and addressing the complex relationships between research and policy development.
NCCARF’s evidence-based Policy Guidance Briefs address key challenges to effectively adapting Australia to a variable and changing climate, providing high-level policy advice designed for use by policy makers at Commonwealth and State level.
As this report shows, activities to reduce disaster risk as implemented under the Community-based Disaster Risk Reduction (CBDRR) programme between 2005 and 2011 by the Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS) bear merit, as they generated a positive impact on programme communities.
This research introduces quantitative, stochastic CBA frameworks and applies them in case studies of flood and drought risk reduction in India and Pakistan, while also incorporating projected climate change impacts. DRM interventions are shown to be economically efficient, with integrated approaches more cost-effective and robust than singular interventions.
The primary objective of this study has been to develop a comprehensive, participatory, and indigenously oriented climate change review study in Zanzibar, in order to address the required implementation formula in climate change adaptation and mitigation.
This study examines coastal communities’ perceptions of environmental change in northeast Zanzibar, Tanzania and their preferences for adaptive strategies, while simultaneously examining physical change processes through change analysis.
This research looks at environmental change, both past and current, on the east coast of Zanzibar, Tanzania in terms of the implications of sea level rise, extreme storms and the current vulnerability of coastal settlements.
This report takes stock of what has happened to cost-benefit analysis at the Bank, based on analysis of four decades of project data, project appraisal documents and Implementation Completion and Results Reports from recent fiscal years, and interviews with current staff at the Bank.
It discusses the various salient points on the costs of adaptation, with specific reference to India. It looks at the key areas of health, coastal zones, water, agriculture, forests, and ecosystems, and evaluates the feasible measures needed to reduce the negative impacts of climate change.
Este artículo desarrolla dos marcos metodológicos: Uno para estimar los daños económicos sobre zonas urbanas y el otro para estimar el daño derivado de aumentos del nivel del mar para el 2100.
This state-level assessment of climate change impacts is specifically geared to assist in the development of adaptation strategies. It acknowledges the need to plan for and adapt to climate change impacts in a range of sectors:
