Adapting to Climate Change
This paper examines the optimal time to adapt to climate change. We take the perspective of a farmer growing a crop in a stochastic environment. The farmer faces stochastic seasonal growth, which makes harvest at the end of any season a random variable. Within a season, crop biomass is assumed to grow according to a continuoustime Itô process. The standard deviation rate of the Itô process is i...
متن کاملAdapting buildings to climate change
The interdependence and feedback between climate impacts mitigation and adaptation to the inevitable changes in climate are the key challenges for the built environment in the coming decades. These challenges are more pronounced in the interface between science and society, in which scientific knowledge and evidence are transformed into policy actions. This editorial looks at current and growin...
متن کاملAdapting agriculture to climate change.
The strong trends in climate change already evident, the likelihood of further changes occurring, and the increasing scale of potential climate impacts give urgency to addressing agricultural adaptation more coherently. There are many potential adaptation options available for marginal change of existing agricultural systems, often variations of existing climate risk management. We show that im...
متن کاملVietnam’s Urgent Task: Adapting to Climate Change
The 2016 Paris Climate Agreement is rightfully recognized as a major step toward slowing future emissions of greenhouse gases that contribute to global climate change. The agreement, ratified by more than 150 countries, requires signatories to make voluntary emissions reductions, known as mitigation actions, against benchmarks and targets that will be adjusted over time to try to hold global te...
متن کاملAdapting to climate change: a perspective from evolutionary physiology
Much attention has been given to forecasting the likely effects of ongoing climate change on biodiversity. A large and often contentious literature has developed about how changes in species’ ranges should be modelled and how additional biological mechanisms might be incorporated to improve their utility. Nonetheless, 2 areas stand out as relatively underappreciated: the importance of understan...
