The research aims to determine the household economic behaviors of rice farmers in decision-making with relation to the production risks due to climate change and determine the farmer’s adaptation strategies in the face of climate change. The approach taken is t...
متن کاملGlobal Climate Change and the Funding of Adaptation
Mitigation and adaptation are the most important strategies in combating global climate change. It is expected that in a post Kyoto world industrialized countries have to engage in greenhouse gas abatement, and to support developing countries in adapting to climate change. Within the framework of a non-cooperative Nash game we analyze, whether funding adaptation is incentive compatible in the s...
متن کاملMitigating Global Warming: A Real Options Approach
Mitigation and adaptation represent two solutions to the issue of global warming. While mitigation aims at reducing CO2 emissions and preventing climate change, adaptation encompasses a broad scope of techniques used to reduce the impacts of climate change once they have occurred. Both have direct costs on a country’s Gross Domestic Product, but costs also arise from temperature increases due t...
متن کاملAdaptation and mitigation strategies in agriculture: an analysis of potential synergies
As climate changes due to rising concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, agriculture will be one of the key human activities affected. Projections show that while overall global food production in the coming decades may keep pace with the food requirements of a growing world population, climate change might worsen existing regional disparities because it will reduce crop yields mo...
متن کاملTHE ANCILLARY BENEFITS AND COSTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION: A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK by Alan KRUPNICK, Dallas BURTRAW and Anil MARKANDYA
Within the broad set of climate change issues, one that is growing in controversy and potential importance is the ancillary benefits and costs of policies to reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs). Ancillary benefits and costs are externalities arising from GHG abatement policies that are achieved jointly with the reduction of GHGs in the atmosphere. Analysts have attempted to identify and in some case...
متن کاملAdaptation to climate change: Commitment and timing issues
We study the impact of timing and commitment on adaptation and mitigation policies in the context of international environmental problems. Adaptation policies present the characteristics of a private good and may require a prior investment, while mitigation policies produce a public good. By developing a stylized model, where some countries coordinate their actions while others do not, we evalu...
