Opis

Resulting from a workshop organized by Postdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and the Wuppertal Institute for Energy (WI), this volume includes contributions on various aspects of cost-benefit assessments of global climate change. It focuses upon three major areas: modelling regional climate sensitivity, impacts and adaptation; emissions reduction targets, associated costs, and possible instruments for implementation; and finally the broader national and international policy context for using these models and their results.
