In this paper we discuss the scope of the adaptation challenge facing world agriculture in the coming decades. Due to … rising temperatures throughout the tropics, pressures for adaptation will be greatest in some of the poorest parts of the … adaptation in the farm and food sector. In general, we find that existing integrated assessment models are better suited to …

We provide counterexamples to the idea that mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, and adaptation to climate change … process with positive drift and mitigation is lumpy. Climate damages can be affected by adaptation in two main ways: 1 … variance of the climate damage are both reduced by adaptation. In case 1, the variance effect (which leads to more rapid …
