Adaptation practices considered are a mix of cheaper soft measures and more costly hard irrigation … adaptation exploiting low cost opportunities. In this case all climate change damages can be offset with a benefit cost ration …

to coastal resources will depend strongly on adaptation, society's response to cope with the impacts. This paper presents … between very detailed local studies and aggregate global estimates. The Coastal Impact and Adaptation Model (CIAM) determines … the optimal strategy for adaptation at the local level, evaluating over 12,000 coastal segments, as described in the DIVA …

Much of the current policy debate on adaptation to climate change has focussed on estimation of adaptation costs, ways … to raise and to scale-up funding for adaptation, and the design of the international institutional architecture for … adaptation financing. There is however little or no emphasis so far on actual delivery mechanisms to channel these resources at …

Nowadays, as stressed by important strategic documents like for instance the 2009 EU White Paper on Adaptation or the … recent 2009 Copenhagen Accord, it is amply recognized that both mitigation and adaptation strategies are necessary to combat … uncertainty works in the direction to make mitigation a more attractive strategy than adaptation.

In an attempt to advance in the modelling of adaptation within IAM models, we apply this methodology to shed some … light on how the optimal balance between mitigation and adaptation changes under different stochastic scenarios. We find … that stochastic technology growth hardly affects the optimal bundle of mitigation and adaptation whereas uncertainty about …
