In an attempt to advance in the modelling of adaptation within IAM models, we apply this methodology to shed some … light on how the optimal balance between mitigation and adaptation changes under different stochastic scenarios. We find … that stochastic technology growth hardly affects the optimal bundle of mitigation and adaptation whereas uncertainty about …

Most empirical studies on private climate change adaptation rely on self-reported intentions which often fail to … gap (IBG) in climate change adaptation, which complicates the deduction of policy recommendations for stimulating … adaptation behavior. Using a large unique longitudinal survey data set from Germany covering more than 5,000 households, our …
