This study represents the first attempt at an integrated approach to assessing the potential impacts of climate change … outcomes by about 2050. The results show the multiple impacts of climate change and the importance of spatial and temporal … variation in these impacts. The study focused in particular on the potential impacts of climate change on the water supply …

Using a large sample over the period 1986 to 2017, we show that companies with higher exposure to climate change risk induced by sea-level rise (SLR) tend to acquire firms that are unlikely to be directly affected by SLR. We find that acquirers with higher SLR exposure experience significantly...

We present two case studies in which coastal vulnerability modeling was used to quantify the role those coastal … ecosystems play in reducing risk to coastal communities now and with future sealevel rise. These analyses were used to inform … post-disaster reconstruction and coastal resilience building efforts as well as climate change adaptation strategies. Our …
