resultsPolicy brief which provides an overview of the European-wide assessment of the impacts and economic costs of sea-level rise, and an analysis of the costs and benefits of adaptation.
Using Portfolio Theory, this study develops a method by which the selection of genetic material, to be used in regenerating or restoring a forest, is optimally adapted to multiple, equally probable future climates.
Report commissioned by the Dutch government for recommendations on how to protect the Dutch coast and the low-lying hinterland against the consequences of climate change.
This paper presents an assessment framework that allows the identification of adaptation strategies that are robust (i.e. insensitive) to climate change uncertainties.
The report reviews methods and tools available in the literature on the assessment of climate change uncertainties and reviews existing frameworks for decision making under uncertainty for adaptation to climate change in the Netherlands.
An agent-partner, index-based microinsurance product design was explored as a risk management tool for drought in Ethiopia.
Report sets out the best available evidence on the choices the people of England face regarding how much should be invested in managing the increasing risk of flooding and coastal erosion, and how the Environment Agency should deliver a long-term programme of investment.
Describes in detail the main models, assumptions, and analysis methods used in the large report: Economics of Adaptation to Climate Change: Ethiopia.
Main goal is to aid Ethiopia's government to understand the potential economic impacts of climate change and to develop sound policies and investments in response to such impacts. Adaptation options and their costs are estimated and compared with the costs of inaction.
Dissertation focuses on the need for flexibility in urban drainage systems due to uncertain future conditions.
Guiding climate compatible development: User-orientated analysis of planning tools and methodologies
Report provides an overview of the tools and methodologies available to plan adaptation, mitigation and development, and to guide decision makers towards climate compatible development pathways.
Study covers the impacts and economics costs of climate change, the costs of adaptation, and the potential for low carbon growth in Kenya.
Study covers the impacts and economics costs of climate change, the costs of adaptation, and the potential for low carbon growth in Tanzania.
Study assesses the feasibility of developing climate change related vulnerability indicators for urban areas to support future EU spatial development policy by reviewing available literature and research activities.
Paper discusses a more strategic, economic approach to public adaptation and compares it with adaptation practice in Europe.
Opinion paper which reviews the existing literature on adaptation costs.
Paper provides a brief review of the adaptation and mitigation benefits from various practices, and then focus in detail on empirical evidence concerning costs and barriers to adoption, both from household and project-level data.
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)
Local case studies to the report: Adaptatie aan Klimaatveranderiung - Globale Kosten en Praktische Voorbelden. Literatuurstudie.(Adaptation to Climate Change: Global Costs and Practical Examples)
Study which represents a rapid review of key data for the financial, economic and social impacts of floods; the potential of SME (small and medium-sized enterprises) support on resource efficiency; and the relative environmental expenditure within the EU.
Study applies RIO (real in option) analysis to the selection and timing of options for the modification of an urban drainage system as an example of how best to adapt these systems to provide greater climate change resilience.
Report proposes a framework consisting of two key indicators (saved wealth and saved health) that allows the total value of an adaptation project to be assessed.
Paper describes a new analytic method for identifying scenarios that may help resolve the challenges of finding the the best means to choose three or four scenarios to summarize what is often a very wide range of uncertainties and how best to include probabilistic information with such scenarios.
This dissertation has two main objectives. The first is to motivate the need for new quantitative scenario-based planning and decision making methods for California water resource management. The second is to demonstrate the benefits of such methods for water resource planning, and in particular in California water resources planning.
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.
Document describes the analysis developed for the fourth workshop which was developed to help water managers, technical staff, elected officials, and other planners from the IEUA region consider the significance of potential climate change relative to other key planning uncertainties and evaluate options for reducing their vulnerability to supply shortfalls under a wide range of plausible futur
