CLIMATE COST: Full Costs of Climate Change, for European Commission, DG Environment
The project will advance knowledge in three areas:
- Long-term targets and mitigation policies.
- Costs of inaction (the economic effects of climate change).
- Costs and benefits of adaptation
Using detailed disaggregated, bottom-up approaches, combined with top-down aggregated analysis, this project aims to provide a comprehensive and consistent analysis of the full costs of climate change. It will provide information at Member State level across Europe, and at country level for China and India. The research has a strong policy focus, which aims to directly link to policy needs. The project encourages a cross-fertilisation of research and a transfer of information between researchers in Europe, the USA, China and India. This has the potential to greatly enhance the future discussion in this area and build international collaboration.
