Climate Change, Sea Level Rise, and Coastal Disasters. A Review of Modeling Practices

Bosello, Francesco; De Cian, Enrica - 2014

The climate change impacts on sea level rise and coastal disasters, and the possible adaptation responses have been studied using very different approaches, such as very detailed site-specific engineering studies and global macroeconomic assessments of coastal zones vulnerability. This paper...

Migration and Climate Change in Rural Africa

Cattaneo, Cristina - 2015

We analyse whether migration is an adaptation that households employ to cope with climate in Ghana and Nigeria. If migration is part of the present adaptation portfolio of households in developing countries, it is reasonable to expect that it will also be an adaptation to future climate change....

Climate Change and Extreme Events : An Assessment of Economic Implications

Roson, Roberto; Calzadilla, Alvaro; Pauli, Francesco - 2014

We use a general equilibrium model of the world economy, and a regional economic growth model, to assess the economic implications of vulnerability from extreme meteorological events, induced by the climate change. In particular, we first consider the impact of climate change on ENSO and NAO...

Estimating Global Damages from Sea Level Rise with the Coastal Impact and Adaptation Model (CIAM)

Diaz, Delavane - 2015

The costs of coastal sector impacts from sea level rise (SLR) are an important component of the total projected economic damages of climate change, a major input to decision-making and design of climate policy. Moreover, the ultimate costs to coastal resources will depend strongly on adaptation,...

Sea Level Rise, Radical Uncertainties and Decision-Maker's Liability : The European Coastal Airports Case

Sorokin, Leonid - 2016

Until now, most of the growing climate legal litigations mainly concern environmental associations or victims against energy of energy-users firms or States. However, in a near future, because of exacerbating sudden floods linked to climate change, future litigations could (will) concern...

Agent-Based Models for Climate Change Adaptation in Coastal Zones. A Review

Di Noia, Jlenia - 2022

Worldwide, with different frequencies and magnitudes, coastlines are increasingly being affected by climate change hazards. The high urbanization rate, due to economic opportunities and natural amenities, further exacerbates vulnerabilities in these areas, requiring prompt and effective...

Climate Change Adaptation, Development, and International Financial Support : Lessons from EU Pre-Accession and Solidarity Funds

Przyluski, Valentin - 2010

Funding adaptation requires adequate governance and there are different ways to organise and channel the funds to where it is most efficient and most necessary. This paper investigates this issue and studies the practical implementation of a development under conditionality, namely...
