Thursday October 23, 2-4pm - prior to welcome reception Masterclass: Economics of Climate Change Adaptation presented by Tamma Carleton, Assistant Professor of Agricultural and Resource Economics University of California, Berkeley |
Mounting costs of anthropogenic climate change reveal that adaptation will be essential to human well-being in coming decades. At the same time, the literature on the economics of adaptation offers relatively little guidance for emerging policy. In this session, we will discuss how economists can better inform adaptation policy design and implementation. We will use a simple conceptual model of adaptation decision-making to describe two core adaptation channels that are linked to two streams of adaptation literature, which have emerged largely in parallel. We will consider how insights from these literatures can be used for adaptation policy evaluation, highlight key limitations of and opportunities for public intervention in private adaptation markets, and provide guidance for future work.
