Economics of Adaptation to Climate Change Study Overview
Economics of Adaptation to Climate Change Study Overview–World Bank
The Economics of Adaptation to Climate Change study is a multi-year, multi-country study designed to help developing country decision makers more effectively design climate change adaptation strategies through an improved understanding and assessment of the risks posed by climate change, the adaptation measures that can be taken to reduce the risks and/or adverse impacts, and the costs and benefits of such measures.
By identifying the climate change adaption needs of developing countries and their costs, the study also helps inform the international community’s efforts to provide access to adequate support and new and additional resources to help the most vulnerable developing countries meet the costs of adapting to climate change.
The study is a partnership between the World Bank which is leading the technical aspects of the study, the Governments of the United Kingdom, Netherlands, and Switzerland which are funding the study, and the participating developing countries. The study focuses on seven case study countries—Bangladesh, Bolivia, Ethiopia, Ghana, Mozambique, Samoa and Vietnam.
