Decision scaling: Linking bottom‐up vulnerability analysis with climate projections in the water sector (2012, background): “However, from a decision making perspective, it is often difficult to utilize the results due to a number of incongruities between the typical results and the needs of decision makers [Wilby and Desai, 2010; Hallegatte, 2009; Stainforth et al., 2007; Rohmsdahl and Pyke, 2009].”
Climate change and European forests: what do we know, what are the uncertainties, and what are the implications for forest management? (2014, background): “…include searching for no-regret strategies that yield benefits even in absence of climate change, and favouring reversible and flexible options over irreversible choices (Hallegatte, 2009) and focussing on adaptive management which is continuously reassessing itself (Sepp€al€a et al., 2009).”
Anticipatory Governance (2010, background): “Hallegatte (2009) and Easterling et al. (2004) suggest creating flexible actions that can be broken into modules and implemented as needed as the future unfolds.”
The Effects of Weather Shocks on Economic Activity: What are the Channels of Impact? (2018, positive): “Second, we complement the literature on the effects of weather shocks that previously relied on experiments (see, for example, Seppänen, Fisk and Lei 2006, Niemelä et al. 2002 for the effects on productivity) or within-country studies (see, for example, Barreca 2012, Burgess et al. 2014 for the effe”
Operationalising a resilience approach to adapting an urban delta to uncertain climate changes (2010, background): “Secondly, it is important to assess the possible (negative and positive) side-effects of options and strategies [7].”
Explaining differences in flood management approaches in Europe and in the USA – a comparative analysis (2017, background): “Moreover, the climate change (epistemic) community (Haas, 1992) successfully introduced a new policy image: flood hazards are projected to increase in many places and estimates about the time scale, magnitude and possible solutions to the problem are uncertain (Hallegatte, 2009; Bouwer et al., 2010)”
Climatic natural disasters, political risk, and international trade (2010, methodology): “For example, Hallegatte (2009) suggested choosing strategies used to evaluate possible R&D outcomes, including ‘‘no-regret’’ methods, reversible and flexible methods, safety margin designs, soft- and long-term adaptation, and decision time horizon reductions. global deal.”
The use of scenarios as the basis for combined assessment of climate change mitigation and adaptation (2011, background): “Some important exceptions exist which may require decades to implement, such as changes in spatial planning or large-scale engineering works for flood protection (see Hallegatte, 2009).”
Estimating global damages from sea level rise with the Coastal Impact and Adaptation Model (CIAM) (2015, background): “This interval helps avoid premature or unnecessary adaptation investments (Hallegatte, 2009; Felgenhauer and Webster, 2013); however, we conduct a sensitivity analysis of 100 years to investigate the case that major coastal defense structures may be planned for a much longer duration.”
Climate-Resilient Pathways: Adaptation, Mitigation, and Sustainable Development (2014, background): “, Bamuri and Opeschoor, 2007), ensuring effective institutions in developing, implementing, and sustaining resilient strategies, and enhancing the range of choices through innovation (e.g., Folke et al., 2002; Chuku, 2009; Hallegatte, 2009).”
Dynamic adaptive policy pathways: A method for crafting robust decisions for a deeply uncertain world (2013, background): “This paradigm holds that, in light of the deep uncertainties, one needs to design dynamic adaptive plans (Albrechts, 2004; de Neufville and Odoni, 2003; Haasnoot et al., 2011; Hallegatte, 2009; Hallegatte et al., 2012; Ranger et al., 2010; Schwartz and Trigeorgis, 2004; Swanson et al., 2010).”
