Total costs and budgetary effects of adaptation to climate change: An assessment for the European Union
Osberghaus, Daniel; Reif, Christiane - 2010
Adaptation to climate change is gaining increasing relevance in the public debate of climate policy. However, detailed and regionalised cost estimates as a basis for cost-benefit-analyses are rare. We compose available cost estimates for adaptation in Europe, and in particular Germany, Finland...
