Climate change scenarios and citizen-participation: Mitigation and adaptation perspectives in constructing sustainable futures

Understanding Farmer Perspectives on Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation

The statistical models used in this study adapt the multivariate capabilities of structural equation models (SEMs) to handle variables with discrete ordered response categories. These models link the observed (categorical) response y i,j for item j by subject i to an unobserved continuous variable y * i,j through an ordinal probit model. An example for a five-category item would be: 1 if agree)...

Integrating Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation with Urban planning for a Livable city in Tehran

Climate change impacts are seen within growing numbers of cities in low- and middle-income countries, so there is growing interest in the adaptation and mitigation plans and programs put forward by city authorities. This paper aims to provide a better understanding of the constraints which cities face them in this subject by analyzing the case of Tehran. City has a commitment to decentralizatio...

Climate Change in California: Scenarios for Adaptation

The Public Policy Institute of California is dedicated to informing and improving public policy in California through independent, objective, nonpartisan research on major economic, social, and political issues. The institute's goal is to raise public awareness and to give elected representatives and other decisionmakers a more informed basis for developing policies and programs. The institute'...

Modelling risk adaptation and mitigation behaviour under different climate change scenarios

The main objective of this study is to simulate household choice behavior under varying climate change scenarios using choice experiments. Economic welfare measures are derived for society’s willingness to pay (WTP) to reduce climate change induced flood risks through private insurance and willingness to accept compensation (WTAC) for controlled flooding under varying future risk exposure level...
