Journal ArticleDOI
Dredging versus hedging: Comparing hard infrastructure to ecosystem-based adaptation to flooding
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the costs and benefits of a range of hard infrastructure and ecosystem-based adaptation options to mitigate flooding under climate change using data from two catchments in Fiji.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does community resilience mitigate loss and damage from climaterelated disasters? Evidence based on survey data
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use survey data to develop a composite index of community resilience in Fiji and then evaluate the extent to which community resilience mitigates loss and damage from climate-related disasters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate change and the economic impacts of flooding on Fiji
TL;DR: In this paper, the economic impacts of flooding in the Ba River and Penang River catchments in Viti Levu, Fiji were quantified by using evidence from a novel survey administered in early 2013.
Journal ArticleDOI
Focus rural land policies on ecosystem services, not agriculture.
David Gawith,Ian Hodge +1 more
TL;DR: Applying thinking centred on ecosystems services to the governance of rural land would secure greater social value and lead to effective public expenditure, environmental harm and missed opportunities for the use of rural resources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate change costs more than we think because people adapt less than we assume
TL;DR: In this paper, adaptation constraints are used to constrain an agent-based model of climate change adaptation, showing that these empirically-specified adaptation constraints reduce profits relative to an optimised specification by roughly one third.
