Climate change is a phenomenon beset with major uncertainties and researchers should include them in Integrated … Assessment Models. However, including further dimensions in IAM models comes at a cost. In particular, it makes most of these … problems. In an attempt to advance in the modelling of adaptation within IAM models, we apply this methodology to shed some …
