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.

resultsThis 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.

Description of an approach for a qualitative and quantitative assessment of adaptation options to respond to climate change in the Netherlands.
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.
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.

Costs and benefits of adaptation for coastal zones in Europe using the DIVA model
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.
Method and case studies for costs of climate change risks and costs (and benefits) of adaptation.
This paper critically reviews a number of studies about the costs of planned adaptation in the health context, and compares current health expenditures with MDGs which are felt to be inadequate when considering climate change impacts.
An approach is outlined that identifies all theoretically possible adaptation options to reduce adverse climate change-related health outcomes through a search of current practice and experience and through expert solicitation. This theoretical range of choices can then be screened to generate a list of measures that are practical for implementation in a particular population and region.
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.
