resultsPaper calls for the development of innovative adaptation strategies able to cope with the uncertainty on future climates, and for more involvement of climate information end-users.
Report aimed at ministries of health and regional and local health authorities to support them in designing, improving and implementing heat–health action plans to prevent the negative effects on health caused by heat and heat-waves.
The Stern Review set out to assess, from a global perspective, the effects on the welfare of current and future generations of very large and, for all practical purposes, irreversible changes to the environment resulting from climate change.
Reviews the recent empirical literature relating to the quantification and valuation of the human health impacts of air pollution, hazardous chemicals, and unsafe water and sanitation, and their use in cost-benefit analysis, as an input to environmental policy decision-making in OECD countries.
Case study aims to assess the potential costs and effectiveness of adaptation actions that address heat-related health risks in London, and identify and discuss the potential for cross-sectoral options that span the built environment.
Report research provides detailed estimates of the impacts of climate change on agricultural production, consumption, prices, and trade, and also estimates the costs of adaptation for developing countries.
Document develops a “real options” approach for planning new water resources infrastructure investments and their operating strategies in a world of climate change uncertainty.
Contributes to the existing literature by implementing Monte Carlo simulations and real options valuation in estimating SLR costs and adaptation benefits under uncertainty in Greece.
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.
Study demonstrates how robust decision making can help Ho Chi Minh City develop integrated flood risk management strategies in the face of deep uncertainty.
Paper examines whether a real options approach that recognizes uncertainty and maintains future flexibility can provide an improved adaptation investment strategy for sea level rise.
Report discusses a framework for adaptation decisionmaking and examines the implications for adaptation planning across four case studies: the food sector; the water sector; flooding; and ecosystems and biodiversity.
Work Package undertakes a systematic review of existing and potential adaptation options across the EU, with a specific focus on innovative technologies and institutions that can manage, reduce and/or transfer the risks associated with extreme events.
Review examines the evidence regarding the economic efficiency of DRM (Disaster Risk Management) based on CBA by exploring the methodological underpinnings including key omissions and challenges.
The FP7 MEDIATION project has undertaken a detailed review of decision support tools, and has tested them in a series of case studies. It has assessed their applicability for adaptation and analysed how they consider uncertainty.
Paper discusses the economic theory of adaptation as well as the empirical adaptation literature with a focus on developing countries.
Review of the annual economic and social benefits associated with the PWS (Public Weather Service) within the UK.
The principle objectives of this study is to identify, analyze and quantify the economic costs of climate change for Mexico and, on the basis of the results, propose and recommend appropriate measures for public policy, both for adaptation and mitigation.
Technical guidelines to support the NAP (National Adaptation Plan) process. These technical guidelines will assist the LDCs in comprehensively addressing adaptation in a coherent and strategic manner.
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
Main objective is to help developers of physical assets and infrastructure incorporate resilience to current climate variability and future climate change within their projects.
This working paper summarises existing work on the costs and benefits of climate change adaptation for the water sector in Africa. It reviews adaptation cost estimates for the continent and the main economic appraisal methods used, then summarises results.
Paper investigates the association between temperature and hospital admissions in California from 1999 to 2005.
Guidance note provides an overview of a European-wide assessment of the impacts and economic costs of climate change on health as part of the ClimateCost project, and the analysis of the costs and benefits of adaptation.
Paper outlines a set of simple, practical principles to give some guidance on how decision-makers in developing countries can incorporate uncertainty into existing policymaking and planning processes today.
Study is intended to enrich the debate on the economics of climate change including the economic costs and benefits of unilateral and regional actions in Southeast Asia.
Report provides insights from an evaluation of the costs and benefits of disaster risk reduction and adaptation to climate change in South Asia.
Study presents the first appraisal of the socio-economic impacts of river floods in the European Union in view of climate and socio-economic changes.
Study examines the consequences of an increase in average temperatures of up to 1°C by 2050 and up to 2.75°C by 2100 for the frequency and intensity of major cyclones that hit the islands.
