The tools of climate adaptation policy: analysing instruments and instrument selection (2016, background): “This section focuses on how traditional financial tools can be employed for adaptation policy (for a discussion of innovative, emerging treasure-based instruments, see Fankhauser et al., 2008).”
Climate Policy and the Optimal Balance between Mitigation, Adaptation and Unavoided Damage (2010, unknown): “The calibration of the AD-WITCH model integrates the information on climate change damages from WITCH (Bosetti et al. 2006, Bosetti et al. 2009), and Nordhaus and Boyer (2000) with Agrawala and Fankhauser (2008), which provide the most recent and complete assessment of adaptation costs and benefits.”
Plan or React? Analysis of Adaptation Costs and Benefits Using Integrated Assessment Models (2011, background): “…what does and does not fall within the purview of adaptation is much more ambiguous, the literature on adaptation costs remains relatively sparse and contested, and there are no accepted metrics for assessing the effectiveness of adaptation policies and measures (Agrawala and Fankhauser 2008).”
Legitimate adaptive flood risk governance beyond the dikes: the cases of Hamburg, Helsinki and Rotterdam (2014, background): “, 2011), often materialized in the form of policy networks and other types of governance arrangements that cross the public-private divide (e.g. Driessen et al., 2012; Agrawala and Fankhauser, 2008; Lemos and Agrawal, 2006).”
Adaptation in the UK: a decision-making process (2010, background): “…have demonstrated that in many cases well-planned adaptive measures can cost-effectively avert a large fraction of future losses due to unavoidable climate change over the next few decades (e.g. Climate Works Foundation, 2009; Agrawala and Fankhauser, 2008; Fankhauser and Schmidt-Traub, 2010).”
Adaptation investments: a resource allocation framework (2010, background): “…climate change impacts is steadily improving, there are still substantial 1 The paper was produced as a background document to World Bank (2009b), which contains a summary of earlier results. knowledge gaps (Agrawala and Fankhauser 2008), an important one of which is the human dimension of impact.”
A hydro-economic model for the assessment of climate change impacts and adaptation in irrigated agriculture (2015, background): “This underlines the positive effects of policies such as water pricing in improving preparedness for climate change as suggested in other studies (Agrawala and Fankhauser, 2008; De Loë et al., 2001; Tanaka et al., 2006).”
