This paper presents a quantitative assessment of adaptation options in the context of forest fires in Europe under projected climate change. A standalone fire model (SFM) based on a state-of-the-art large-scale forest fire modelling algorithm is used to explore fuel removal through prescribed burnings and improved fire suppression as adaptation options. The climate change projections are provid...

introduction: risk is an essential component in the production and sale of agricultural products. due to the nature of agricultural products, the people who act in this area including farmers and businesspersons encounter unpredictable fluctuations of prices. on the other hand, the firms that process agricultural products also face fluctuation of price of agricultural inputs. given that the can...

Scope of adaptation action Regional level Approaches/ strategies The 14 SAARC Summit, held in New Delhi during 3-4 April 2007 has adopted a decision to approach climate change as a regional concern. The immediate outcome is to organize a workshop this year where regional experts will identify coastal concerns and adaptation options. The prioritized options and actions Under consideration Region...

A factor common to all adaptation measures is the uncertainty that is the hallmark of climate change. The timing, intensity and location of climate change impacts is not known to any degree of precision. Because most deterministic analyses and policy prescriptions ignore this uncertainty, their recommendations are likely to waste community resources. Except by chance, adaptation measures will e...

Abstract. Climate change is a fact; therefore, adaptation to changing environment necessity. Adaptation ultimately local, yet similar challenges pose themselves decision-makers all across the globe and on levels. The Economics of (ECA) methodology has established an economic framework fully integrate risk reward perspectives different stakeholders, underpinned by CLIMADA (CLIMateADAptation) imp...

Different levels of government initiate the development of strategies to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Climate change is affecting decision making and shaping its priorities as an additional factor in the often already complex domain of environmental governance. Spatial planning has a key role in addressing the causes and impacts of climate change. This study was the first to review 25 ...
