The Economics of Climate Adaptation Sample Clauses

The Economics of Climate Adaptation. The Economics of Climate Adaptation (ECA) methodology has been developed by the Economics of Climate Adaptation Working Group26. ECA wishes to provide decision makers with a factual base to understand the impacts of climate change on their economies and 26 The ECAWG is a partnership between the Global Environment Facility, McKinsey & Company, Swiss Re, the Rockefeller Foundation, ClimateWorks Foundation, the European Commission and Standard Chartered Bank. identify appropriate actions to minimize these impacts at a reasonable cost (ideally the lowest) to society. ECA uses probabilistic modelling to estimate expected economic loss today, incremental increase from economic growth and incremental increase of risk due to climate change27. This latter parameter is predicted using scenario analysis under moderate and high climate change projections in 2030. The benefit of each adaptation measure (the loss aversion potential) is assessed by modelling the effect of this specific measure and calculating capital and operating expenditures. The assessment of all measures results in a balanced portfolio of adaptation measures. This method has been applied in 17 cases studies and the preliminary analysis has produced some remarkable and counterintuitive results28: Prioritization of adaptation measures is not strongly dependent on the chosen climate change scenario, Cost effectiveness is still valid even without climate change for a substantial subset of proposed measures. In other words, present situation is already a strong case for action, and in most cases it is cheaper to start adapting now. 27 xxxx://xxxxx.xxxxxxx.xxx/documents/Economics_of_Climate_Adaption_UK_Factsheet.pdf 28 Ibid.
