Journal ArticleDOI
On Setting Near-Term Climate Policy While the Dust Begins to Settle: The Legacy of the Stern Review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the Stern Review is right when it argues on economic grounds for immediate intervention to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, but feel that it is right for the wrong reasons.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the economics of coastal adaptation solutions in an uncertain world
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the value of adaptation can be expressed in terms of differences in expected outcomes damages only if the effected community has access to efficient risk-spreading mechanisms or reflects risk neutrality in its decision-making structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptation and the Guardrail Approach to Tolerable Climate Change
TL;DR: In this paper, a preliminary window offered by the Scientific Advisory Council on Global Change of the Federal Government of Germany sets limits on temperature change and the rate of temperature change, and the value of adaptation depends upon both the underlying structure of the tolerable window and the basecase emissions trajectory.
Journal ArticleDOI

Louis R. Iverson,Stephen N. Matthews,Stephen N. Matthews,Anantha Prasad,Matthew P. Peters,Gary W. Yohe +5 more
TL;DR: This paper presented an approach to assess and compare risk from climate change among multiple species through a risk matrix, in which managers can quickly prioritize for species that need to have strategies developed, evaluated further, or watched.
Journal ArticleDOI
Economic Value of Weather and Climate Forecasts
TL;DR: The economic value of weather and climate forecasting is discussed in this article, where the authors investigate how and where individuals uncover information that they find credible and how and why those same individuals, institutions, and systems discard information they find incredible.
