Integrated assessment of climate catastrophes with endogenous uncertainty : does the risk of ice sheet collapse justify precautionary mitigation?

Diaz, Delavane B. - 2015

Greenhouse gas policies confront the trade-off between the costs of reducing emissions and the benefits of avoided climate change. The risk of uncertain and potentially irreversible catastrophes is an important issue related to the latter, and one that has not yet been well incorporated into...

Sea level rise, radical uncertainties and decision-maker’s liability : the European coastal airports case

Sorokin, Leonid V.; Mondello, Gérard - 2016

Until now, most of the growing climate legal litigations mainly concern environmental associations or victims against energy of energy-users firms or States. However, in a near future, because of exacerbating sudden floods linked to climate change, future litigations could (will) concern...

Estimating global damages from sea level rise with the Coastal Impact and Adaptation Model (CIAM)

Diaz, Delavane B. - 2015

The costs of coastal sector impacts from sea level rise (SLR) are an important component of the total projected economic damages of climate change, a major input to decision-making and design of climate policy. Moreover, the ultimate costs to coastal resources will depend strongly on adaptation,...

Estimating and mapping natural hazards and risk reduction provided by coastal ecosystems

Arkema, Katie; Bailey, Allison; Cerón, Valeria Chávez; … - 2023

We present two case studies in which coastal vulnerability modeling was used to quantify the role those coastal ecosystems play in reducing risk to coastal communities now and with future sealevel rise. These analyses were used to inform post-disaster reconstruction and coastal resilience...

Climate change, sea level rise, and coastal disasters : a review of modeling practices

Bosello, Francesco; De Cian, Enrica - 2013

The climate change impacts on sea level rise and coastal disasters, and the possible adaptation responses have been studied using very different approaches, such as very detailed site-specific engineering studies and global macroeconomic assessments of costal zones vulnerability. This paper...

Looking forward from the past : assessing the potential flood hazard and damage in Polesine Region by revisiting the 1950 flood event

Amadio, Mattia; Myšiak, Jaroslav; Pecora, Silvano; … - 2013

). Human-induced climate change will alter intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, hence flood risk (IPCC 2012 …). While large-scale assessments of flood risk dominate (Genovese, et al. 2007), the knowledge of the effects at smaller scales … hazard scenarios are provided by hydrological and hydrodynamic models, included in a flood forecasting system capable to …

Economy-wide estimates of the implications of climate change : sea level rise

Bosello, Francesco; Lazzarin, Marco; Roson, Roberto; … - 2004

The economy-wide implications of sea level rise in 2050 are estimated using a static computable general equilibrium model. Overall, general equilibrium effects increase the costs of sea level rise, but not necessarily in every sector or region. In the absence of coastal protection, economies...

Natural disasters and labor market outcomes in Mexico

Acevedo, Ivonne; Castellani, Francesca; Lopez de la … - 2023

This study examines the relationship between weather emergencies and labor market outcomes in Mexico from 2016 to 2020. Using panel data and a two-way fixed effects estimation, the analysis focuses on storms, floods, wildfires, and landslides. The results show that storms can have significant...
