The attractiveness of a tourist destination is partly dependent on its environmental and climatic resource base. Climate change can be expected to have an effect on this attractiveness and will subsequently alter patterns of demand. An application of the pooled travel cost model using survey...

We use an updated and extended version of the Hamburg Tourism Model to simulate the effect of development and climate … change on tourism. Model extensions are the explicit modelling of domestic tourism and the inclusion of tourist expenditures …. We also use the model to examine the impact of sea level rise on tourism demand. Climate change would shift patterns of …

We find … that stochastic technology growth hardly affects the optimal bundle of mitigation and adaptation whereas uncertainty about … problems. In an attempt to advance in the modelling of adaptation within IAM models, we apply this methodology to shed some …

It has become commonly accepted that a successful climate strategy should compound mitigation and adaptation. The … accurate combination between adaptation and mitigation that can best address climate change is still an open question. This … paper proposes a framework that integrates mitigation, adaptation, and climate change residual damages into an optimisation …

Hence, the possibility to adapt does not …

In this paper we use the hybrid integrated model WITCH to quantify and analyze the investments and financial flows stimulated by a climate policy to stabilize Greenhouse Gases concentrations at 550ppm CO2-eq at the end of the century. We focus on investments to decarbonize the power sector and...
