This paper contributes to the normative literature on mitigation and adaptation by framing the question of their … absence of a coordinated global agreement on climate change and to realign the policy balance from adaptation toward more … mitigation. Our analysis also shows that adaptation transfers from and strategic unilateral commitments to adaptation in …

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 …

Interestingly, adaptation is stimulated more than mitigation in the first half of the century …, while the situation reverses afterwards. Over the century, the risk premium correction fosters more mitigation, which …

In a continuous time framework over an infinite horizon, we … with respect to both the intertemporal consumption and the mix between an insurance (adaptation) against the magnitude of …

Through our analysis we … account for multiple aspects of risk so we can support policy decisions related to both ex-ante and ex-post disaster …
