This paper investigates the economic incentives of countries to cooperate on international adaptation financing. Adaptation is generally implicitly incorporated in the climate change damage functions as used in Integrated Assessment Models. We replace the implicit decision on adaptation with...

We present a modification of the most commonly used integrated assessment model (IAM) of climate change (DICE-2016), AD-DICE2016, which is designed to address three key aspects of climateeconomy models: treatment of uncertainty, the use of more appropriate utility functions, and including...

Climate change is considered the biggest environmental challenge facing the world. The expected concomitant economic impacts of climate change are substantial, where the African continent is expected to be particularly vulnerable. Research is needed to support the development of sound climate...

This paper presents updated and newly derived estimates using various impact models, including biophysical and econometric models, to evaluate the direct economic costs of climate change in Ireland. The estimates are completed for five climate impacts: sea level rise, heat effects on labour...

To achieve the agreed goals of the Paris Climate Agreement, Ireland has taken significant steps through its ambitious climate legislation. While setting climate policies is paramount to ensure a transition to a low carbon economy, creating a better understanding of the future climate, the...

This study uses a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model to analyse how mitigation and adaptation strategies affect climate change impacts in Ireland. Five impacts-coastal flooding, riverine flooding, heat on labour productivity, human health, and agricultural productivity-are incorporated,...

Designing and implementing effective and efficient climate policies requires an understanding of climate change impacts. However, the estimation of climate change impacts remains lacking, without an understanding of the sectoral details of climate change impacts and their further impacts on the...

The aim of this report is to contribute to the understanding of the link between climate change and health by examining the impact of temperature changes on health and healthcare utilisation in Ireland. While there are multiple dimensions of climate change that may affect health (e.g.,...
