Individual Adaptation to Climate Change : The Role of Information and Perceived Risk

Osberghaus, Daniel - 2010

Given that many of the predicted effects of climate change are considered imminent and unavoidable, the need to mainstream adaptation as a viable coping measure among private households is becoming a topic of increasing importance. However, little research to date has assessed the factors...

Rural Households in a Changing Climate

Baez, Javier - 2012

This paper argues that climate change poses two distinct, if related, sets of challenges for poor rural households: challenges related to the increasing frequency and severity of weather shocks and challenges related to long-term shifts in temperature, rainfall patterns, water availability, and...

Adaptation to Temperature Extremes in Chinese Agriculture, 1981 to 2010

Wang, Di; Zhang, Peng; Chen, Shuai - 2021

Temporal evolution of extreme temperature effects on agriculture is important for understanding adaptation to climate change but has not been sufficiently studied. This study examines the time-varying impacts of extreme temperatures on Chinese agriculture over 1981 to 2010. We estimate a...

Individual adaptation to climate change : the role of information and perceived risk

Osberghaus, Daniel; Finkel, Elyssa; Pohl, Max - 2010

In der Klimapolitik gibt es zwei grundlegende Handlungsstränge - Vermeidung und Anpassung. Vermeidung beschreibt alle …. Anpassung beinhaltet dagegen die Reaktion auf die beobachtbaren oder erwarteten Auswirkungen des Klimawandels, um Schäden zu … verringern oder potenzielle Vorteile zu nutzen. Aus ökonomischer Sicht kann Anpassung, im Gegensatz zu den meisten …

Nature-based, structural, or soft measures of adaptation? : preferences for climate change adaptation measures to limit damages from droughts

Ščasný, Milan; Zvěřinová, Iva; Hunt, Alistair - 2019

The objective of this paper is to examine preferences of citizens of three European countries regarding various adaptation plans and measures to limit damages from drought under climate changes. For this purpose, we conducted a survey in the Czech Republic, Italy, and the United Kingdom. We...

An Analysis of Adaptation as a Response to Climate Change

Bosello, Francesco; Carraro, Carlo; De Cian, Enrica - 2013

Climate change is likely to have relevant effects on our future socio-economic systems. It is therefore important to identify how markets and policy jointly react to expected climate change to protect our societies and well-being. This study addresses this issue by carrying out an integrated...

Adaptation to Climate Change

Fankhauser, Sam - 2016

This article reviews the economic and analytical challenges of adaptation to climate change. Adaptation to climate risks that can no longer be avoided is an important aspect of the global response to climate change. Humans have always adapted to changing climatic conditions, and there is...

Adaptation Can Help Mitigation : An Integrated Approach to Post-2012 Climate Policy

Bosello, Francesco; Carraro, Carlo; De Cian, Enrica - 2013

The latest round of international negotiations in Copenhagen led to a set of commitments on emission reductions which are unlikely to stabilise global warming below or around 2°C. As a consequence, in the absence of additional ambitious policy measures, adaptation will be needed to address...

Foreword : On the Imperative of Adapting to Climate Change

Sunstein, Cass R. - 2022

With respect to climate change, the principal focus of both research and public policy has been on mitigation – on reducing greenhouse gas emissions so as to reduce anticipated adverse effects. But it is increasingly clear that adaptation must also be a high priority. Climate-related risks –...
