The Role of Economic Policy in Climate Change Adaptation
This paper assesses the role of the public sector in adaptation to climate change. We first offer a definition and categorisation of climate change adaptation. We then consider the primary economic principles that can guide the assignment of adaptation tasks to either the private or the public sector, as well as those guiding assignment within the public sector itself. We find that the role of ...

متن کاملClimate change in Latin America and the Caribbean: policy options and research priorities
Although climate change is filled with uncertainties, a broad set of policies proposed to address this issue can be grouped in two categories: mitigation and adaptation. Developed countries that are better prepared to cope with climate change have stressed the importance of mitigation, which ideally requires a global agreement that is still lacking.

متن کاملAdaptation and Climate Change
This paper deals with the often ignored issue of adaptation to human-induced climate change.
