Estimating economic damage from climate change in the United States.
Solomon Hsiang,Solomon Hsiang,Robert E. Kopp,Amir Jina,James Rising,Michael Delgado,Shashank Mohan,D. J. Rasmussen,Robert Muir-Wood,Paul J. Wilson,Michael Oppenheimer,Kate Larsen,Trevor Houser +12 more
TL;DR: This article developed a flexible architecture for computing damages that integrates climate science, econometric analyses, and process models, and used this approach to construct spatially explicit, probabilistic, and empirically derived estimates of economic damage in the United States from climate change.
Report SeriesDOI

Robert J. Nicholls,Susan Hanson,Celine Herweijer,Nicola Patmore,Stephane Hallegatte,Jan Corfee-Morlot,Jean Château,Robert Muir-Wood +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a global screening study made a first estimate of the exposure of the world's large port cities to coastal flooding due to storm surge and damage due to high winds.
Book ChapterDOI

Allan Lavell,Michael Oppenheimer,Cherif Diop,Jeremy J. Hess,Robert J. Lempert,Jianping Li,Robert Muir-Wood,Soojeong Myeong,Susanne C. Moser,Kuniyoshi Takeuchi,Omar D. Cardona,Stephane Hallegatte,Maria Carmen Lemos,Christopher M. Little,Alexander Lotsch,Elke Weber +15 more
TL;DR: Barke et al. as mentioned in this paper, 2010: Adaptation to climate change: A review of challenges and tradeoffs in six areas, including vulnerability, exposure, vulnerability, resilience, exposure and resilience.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing climate change impacts, sea level rise and storm surge risk in port cities: A case study on Copenhagen
Stephane Hallegatte,Nicola Patmore,Olivier Mestre,Patrice Dumas,Jan Corfee-Morlot,Celine Herweijer,Robert Muir-Wood +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a methodology to assess economic impacts of climate change at city scale, focusing on sea level rise and storm surge, is presented, which is based on a statistical analysis of past storm surges in the studied city, matched to a geographical-information analysis of the population and asset exposure in the city, for various sea levels and storm surges characteristics.
Book
Economic Risks of Climate Change: An American Prospectus
Trevor Houser,Solomon Hsiang,Robert E. Kopp,Kate Larsen,Michael S. Delgado,Amir Jina,Michael D. Mastrandrea,Shashank Mohan,Robert Muir-Wood,D. J. Rasmussen,James Rising,Paul J. Wilson +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the impact of America's changing climate on the United States economy and present an evidence-based approach to assess the risks and benefits of climate change.
