Economic Perspectives on Climate Adaptation
Economic Perspectives on Climate Adaptation
A changing climate creates both economic risks and rewards, but these are very uncertain and are spread unevenly across space, time, and society. Climate-change adaptation thus presents complex issues of political economy. This chapter discusses five dimensions of this political economy: uncertainty, costs, timing, fairness, incentives, and institutions.
Keywords: climatechange, economics, adaptation, cost, risk allocation, incentives, equity
