Report On The Costs Of The Hot Summer Of 2003

Assessment of impacts of 2003-summer for some sectors in the UK, cost of adaptation

Climate change and adaptation strategies for human health

The book represents the results of the cCASHh study that was carried out in Europe (2001-2004), co-ordinated by WHO and supported by EU Programmes. The flood events in 2002 and the heat wave of August 2003 in Europe had given evidence in a rather drastic way of our vulnerability and our non preparedness.

Beating the Heat: keepings UK buildings cool in a warming climate.

The main focus of this report is how to avoid summertime thermal discomfort in buildings while still minimising energy use. In Section 2, we define what comfortable means and how acceptable levels of carbon dioxide emissions are currently defined. In Section 3, we begin to look at the climate change scenarios and how they have been used.

Foresight. Future Flooding. Scientific Summary: Volumes I and II.

The report assess possible UK flood risk between 2030 and 2100.

Costing the impacts of climate change in the UK: overview of guidelines

By reading this report, the user will gain a good appreciation of the contents of the implementation guidelines, and its potential as a tool to: • Provide guidance on how to generate valid ‘order of magnitude’ estimates of the cost of climate risks, and the benefits of adaptation to these risks. • Minimise the potential for poor, inaccurate or inconsistent cost estimation.

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.

Adaptation costs for climate change-related cases of diarrhoeal disease, malnutrition, and malaria in 2030’

Costs of health adaptation, based on GBD estimates of health impacts in 2030. Adaptation based on prevention costs

Assessment of the Likely Financial Costs Necessary for Health Protection for Climate Change.

Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Strategies in Italy: An Economic Assessment.

As part of wider study, assesses economic costs of heat waves, and reports that potential health benefits of heat alerts likely to be far greater than costs.

Cost-Benefit Analysis of Vaccination against Tick-Borne Encephalitis among French Troops

Background: French troops are exposed to tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) during their tours of duty in the Balkans. This disease, potentially serious because of its lethality and morbidity, has an effective vaccination. The epidemiological characteristics of TBE in the Balkans are not well known.

Health effects of climate change in the UK.

The Department of Health asked the Expert Group on Climate Change and Health in the UK to advise on the likely effects of climate change on health in the United Kingdom (UK). This report presents the Group’s findings.The available evidence has been examined and it has been concluded that climate change will have a significant effect on health in the UK.

Climate’s long-term impacts on metro Boston, Final Report to the US EPA (CLIMB).

Describes impacts on a major U.S. city (Boston), what those impacts are likely to cost, and what adaptive measures can be taken to protect the region from the worst of these effects. Assessment of health from heat, and concludes adaptation can reduce to negligble risks

Heat Watch/Warning Systems Save Lives: Estimated Cost and Benefits for Philadelphia 1995-98

Estimate of the cost of the Heat Health Warning Systems (HHWS), adopted and economic benefits (lives saved) and estimates net benefits

Cost-effectiveness of the lyme disease vaccine

A vaccine for Lyme disease was approved in 1998 for use in the US. Given the high cost of the vaccine, the low risk of Lyme disease in many areas, and the largely curable nature of the disease, the cost-effectiveness of the vaccine in various risk groups is uncertain.

The cost-effectiveness of vaccination against lyme disease

Vaccination against Lyme disease appears to be safe and effective; however, the cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained with vaccination is unknown. The authors developed a decision-analytical model to evaluate cost-effectiveness of vaccination compared with no vaccination in individuals living in endemic areas of Lyme disease.

A General, Analytic Method for Generating Robust Strategies and Narrative Scenarios

Describes a general method for finding robust strategies using the information contained in computer simulations and data.

Climate Proofing: A Risk-based Approach to Adaptation

Collection of six case studies in Asia to show why and demonstrate how reducing climate-related risks is an integral part of sustainable development.

Dealing with Uncertainty in Flood Management Through Diversification

Argues the use of Modern Portfolio Theory for a systemmatic discussion of the relationship between the return and risk of individual flood mitigation activities and the return and risk of complete portfolios.

Adapting to Climate Change: Costs, Benefits, and Modelling Approaches

Summarizes and critically assesses different methodologies and results of literature on the economics of adaptation.

Estimating and Comparing Costs and Benefits of Adaptation Projects: Case Studies in South Africa and The Gambia

This study develops the capacity to estimate and compare the benefits and costs of projects in natural resource sectors that reduce the expected damages from climate change in South Africa (the water sector) and The Gambia (the agricultural sector).

Your Home in a Changing Climate: Retrofitting Existing Homes for Climate Change Impacts

Report explores the potential for retrofitting to introduce adaptation measures to improve the performance of existing homes against three impacts of climate change: flooding, water stress and overheating.

Research to identify potential low-regrets adaptation options to climate change in the residential buildings sector

Aim 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.

The Garnaut Climate Change Review: Final Report

Report argues for the Australian Government to play a proportionate role in global climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts by transitioning to a low-emissions economy. The costs, though high, are managable.

Best Practices and Lessons Learned in addressing adaptation in the least developed countries through the national adaptation programme of action process, volume 1

Highlights the best practices and experiences of LDCs with respect to their national adaptation programmes of action.

Best Practices and Lessons Learned in addressing adaptation in the least developed countries, volume 2

Summarizes experiences, best practices and lessons from the implementation aspects of NAPAs, the LDC work programme and other adaptation initiatives.

Water Resources

Estimates: (a) the economic losses to households of climate-induced water deficits (restricted supplies); (b) the resource costs of removing those deficits, and (c) the associated net benefits – i.e. the difference between (a) and (b).

Benefit-cost Analysis of Climate-related Agricultural Investments in Malawi: a case study

Suggests a three-phase methodology to analyze national agriculture investment plans with respect to climate change mitigation, through a combination of biological and economic modeling.
