Flood Risks, Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Benefits in Mumbai: An Initial Assessment of Socio-Economic Consequences of Present and Climate Change Induced Flood Risks and of...
Hallegatte, Stéphane; Henriet, Fanny; Patwardhan, Anand; … - Environment Directorate, Organisation de Coopération … - 2010
Managing risks from extreme events will be a crucial component of climate change adaptation. In this study, we … demonstrate an approach to assess future risks and quantify the benefits of adaptation options at a city-scale, with application … limited share of total losses but a large shock for poor households. The analysis also demonstrates that adaptation could …

Instrument choice and stranded assets in the transition to clean capital
Rozenberg, Julie; Vogt-Schilb, Adrien; Hallegatte, Stéphane - 2017 - This version: March 2017
To mitigate climate change, some governments opt for instruments focused on investment, like performance standards or feebates, instead of carbon prices. We compare these policies in a Ramsey model with clean and polluting capital, irreversible investment and a climate constraint. Alternative...

Does global warming worsen poverty and inequality? : an updated review
Dang, Hai-Anh H.; Hallegatte, Stéphane; Trong Anh Trinh - 2023
We offer an updated and comprehensive review of recent studies on the impact of climate change, particularly global warming, on poverty and inequality, paying special attention to data sources as well as empirical methods. While studies consistently find negative impacts of higher temperature on...

Assessing Climate Change Impacts, Sea Level Rise and Storm Surge Risk in Port Cities: A Case Study on Copenhagen
Hallegatte, Stéphane; Patmore, Nicola; Mestre, Olivier; … - Environment Directorate, Organisation de Coopération … - 2008
This study illustrates a methodology to assess economic impacts of climate change at city scale, focusing on sea level rise and storm surge. It is based on a statistical analysis of past storm surges in the studied city, matched to a geographical-information analysis of the population and asset...

Ranking Port Cities with High Exposure and Vulnerability to Climate Extremes: Exposure Estimates
Nicholls, R. J.; Hanson, S.; Herweijer, Celine; … - Environment Directorate, Organisation de Coopération … - 2008
This global screening study makes a first estimate of the exposure of the world's large port cities to coastal flooding due to storm surge and damage due to high winds. This assessment also investigates how climate change is likely to impact each port city's exposure to coastal flooding by the...

Climate policies and nationally determined contributions : reconciling the needed ambition with the political economy
Vogt-Schilb, Adrien; Hallegatte, Stéphane - 2017
Countries have pledged to stabilize global warming at a 1.5 to 2°C increase. Either target requires reaching net zero emissions before the end of the century, which implies a major transformation of the economic system. This paper reviews the literature on how policymakers can design climate...

When starting with the most expensive option makes sense : optimal timing, cost and sectoral allocation of abatement investment
Vogt-Schilb, Adrien; Meunier, Guy; Hallegatte, Stéphane - 2018
This paper finds that it is optimal to start a long-term emission-reduction strategy with significant short-term abatement investment, even if the optimal carbon price starts low and grows progressively over time. Moreover, optimal marginal abatement investment costs differ across sectors of the...

Marginal abatement cost curves and the optimal timing of mitigation measures
Vogt-Schilb, Adrien; Hallegatte, Stéphane - 2013
Decision makers facing abatement targets need to decide which abatement measures to implement, and in which order. Measure-explicit marginal abatement cost curves depict the cost and abating potential of available mitigation options. Using a simple intertemporal optimization model, we...
