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,...

System Dynamics Modelling and Climate Change Adaptation in Coastal Areas : A Literature Review

Martínez-Hernández, Alberto Gabino - 2022

Climate change impacts in coastal areas (CA) have exposed coastal ecosystems to unprecedented conditions. System dynamic modelling (SD) has been used as a powerful tool to improve climate change adaptation (CCA) strategies. However, until now there are no review papers that summarize how...

An Accidental Oil Spill Along the Belgian Coast : Results from a Cv Study

van Biervliet, Karl - 2013

This paper offers an economic assessment of the loss of non-use values resulting from different oil spill scenarios along the Belgian Coast. Estimation results show that if no oil spill prevention policy action is undertaken, a significant welfare loss may result. As a matter of fact, contingent...
